I mean, we do spend so much of our time at work. It doesn't hurt to be human. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-bosses-are-so-awesome#post-288731 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:35:46 +0000 mediagirl 288731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so wonderful! You work for some great people. The owner of my company was very generous with what he offered me for my time off as well. Good bosses make things at work soooo mu h easier at times like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-bosses-are-so-awesome#post-288723 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:31:18 +0000 anonysquire 288723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I feel like my bosses don't really "care" about the employees. They didn't say anything on my wedding day or come to the wedding, after sending them an invite. And they don't acknowledge birthdays. Maybe they just are too focused on business :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-bosses-are-so-awesome#post-288705 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:21:29 +0000 ladyfingers 288705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so lucky to work where I work. It's a small company (about a dozen people after a recent division sale, 30 before that) but the owners are amazing. I like the work a lot, I'm more than fairly compensated, and the things they do for people astound me again and again. In lieu of a raise (which they wanted to hold off on discussing until this time next year for a few reasons I agree with -- because my role will be in part expanded when I come back from maternity leave next spring so they don't really know how to address my salary right now), they are giving me 8 weeks paid maternity leave on top of the 6 weeks that are paid through disability. They gave me the parking spot right next to the building, with a sign. And they just gave me a bunch of baby stuff today -- including an expensive Graco swing, an activity mat, and a bunch of baby clothes -- from their youngest boy.</p> <p>Another employee just had his motorcycle stolen so they took up a collection and matched what everybody else gave 100% and bought him a used car. I'm pretty sure they had to kick in extra money to cover it. I couldn't believe they did something like that, it actually made me want to cry.</p> <p>I just have a lot of gratitude and wanted to share. I was so unhappy at the job I had before this one, that I can't believe how different the situations are. </p>
