I'm sure we all have stories of bad bosses; does anyone have any stories of wholesome bosses that we can celebrate? (lemmy.world)

Title says it all. Does anyone have any bosses you worked for where you felt they were the epitome of epic leadership?

I worked at a gas station for a while, at the time I was deeply depressed and suicidal. My boss had to deal with me vanishing from being hospitalized over a suicide attempt and he didn't fire me, or reprimand me, he got me a get well soon card, and told me to let him know when I was up to come back.

I eventually left and ended up on disability, but even when I quit he was understanding, wished me the best, and told me if I was ever looking for work again to apply there.

Good fucking guy, really did his best to make our lives easier, and make sure we were doing ok.
