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 put my degree on hold because I just couldn’t summon the motivation at the time to finish. 2 subjects shy of graduating.

FF 8 years later and my then current boss asks about it, I said I’d never finished it because reasons. He offers to help pay for any subjects I need to take to complete. It turns out if I’d left it on hold for any longer I would have forfeited the whole thing.

He not only paid the money for me to finish those last two subjects; once I graduated he bumped my pay substantially because now he had a university-educated staff member on the books.
