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 got ‘hired’ on at my current job as a non-employee temp worker with no health insurance or sick days, as it was the only kind of role I could get remotely related to my field since I was a fresh immigrant here in the US. My boss fought tooth and nail for me to get hired full-time with a 30% raise and our amazing health benefits. Now just 6 months later, she’s petitioning her boss to give me a promotion when I feel like I just got here, and would have happily spent the next year or two learning before trying to move around. I owe a lot to her for giving me a chance when nowhere else would.
