You could say 'our new boss is a bit trying.' Trying as an adjective here means difficult or annoying.

I don't personally use the word "trying" here, but maybe it's just my personal preference. What is for certain is you can't use "like" here. The rules: seems+adj He seems nice seems like+ (adj) noun He seems like a nice person
