More often than not we read about toxic workplaces where bosses micromanage, pressure and manipulate their employees. Where they don’t give them well deserved paid time off, or where they refuse a salary raise.

But the truth is, there are still many devoted and passionate bosses out there who are true leaders and stand for the people. And this post is a celebration of exactly that.

Below is a collection of pictures that show the moment people realized their boss is so much more than their formal superior. Scroll down, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your best boss stories in the comment below!

doppio Report

“A good boss today looks different than 50 years ago,” Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed and ICF-approved career coach and serial entrepreneur based in the UK, told Bored Panda. “Today, some of the skills that are most highly valued in bosses are communication skills, coaching and mentoring skills and relationship-building skills,” she explained.

Yeah, half the reason homeless people cant get out of a rut so many times is the system itself that hates them for being homeless, but ironically prevents them from leaving the lifestyle. Like ironically most welfare systems want people to get a job, but are set up to actively discourage people from working at the same time. Say you want to work, but you get $1000 in welfare. You start working and earn $1100. You now get no welfare. Also you might spend $200 on stuff like commuting and work clothes, and you have less time to watch your kids, so daycare costs. Well in that case even if you want to work, not working is actually the smarter financial decision. And thats how people who WANT to work, are forced to sit on welfare.

I was denied assistance because my annual income from fulltime and part time job combined was too much by $40.00. But if I hadn't had two jobs I couldn't even come close to making ends meet. I kept both jobs and continue to do so for sever more years after. Edit: This experience doesn't make me bitter against people who accept assistance. Some time you just need a hand and you are able to get up and running again in no time.

I've been homeless and lived in my car for 7 months. I managed to get a job, but it was very difficult: you can't get a job without an address, and you can't get a home without a job. I used an old address until I had enough saved to get a place. Two days after I moved in, I was fired for lying about my housing - some mail they (employer) sent got returned...

How are people amazed by this? The person in need was offered to utilize an empty parking lot. How is this awesomeness? You offer a homeless employee to use your private shower and laundry, at the very least.

This is why people need to communicate more and stop assuming, not everything is always as it appears, and being nice to someone for even just a tiny moment, can change that person's day or life forever.

I am glad you took the time to help them out. So many people get stuck being homeless and no matter what they try something stops them. Over here to get welfare you have to have a home address so that's a massive challenge straight up and prevents so many being able to even start the process.

Cities should have "campgrounds" with showers, cooking area, managers and security on site where people can park their cars, RVs, etc. In my city they arrange for "safe"parking lots. That is not enough!

The Kind Of Boss Everyone Wants

The Kind Of Boss Everyone Wants

alexijielu Report

According to Mitterbauer, a great boss puts the team and the goals of the company before themselves. “Whereas earlier, a good boss would tell their employees what to do, today, they should empower their employees to do the job themselves. A good boss also realizes she/he is often not the smartest person in the room, and knows how to bring out the very best in her/his employees.”

ADVERTISEMENT

The career coach explained that some people naturally have the skills mentioned above, and they will therefore be naturally good leaders without much specific leadership training. “But most people would benefit from training, ideally including on-the-job training,” she added.

“Communication, coaching and relationship-building skills are all skills that can be taught if you have the right mindset and take the lessons and insights onboard. Ideally, a great leader also has empathy and the ability to put their minds into that of others, and these are skills that are harder to teach,” Mitterbauer told us.

Employees want to feel listened to and respected, so a good boss will honor this and show, over time, that they value the input and work from the employee, Mitterbauer said. She argues that “it feels genuine, this process takes time, as there have to be several instances of feeling listened to and respected.”

“Giving regular constructive feedback to the employee is important, as is spending time training and simply listening to the employee on a regular basis,” the career coach concluded.

My Boyfriend Is Going Through Chemo For 6 Months And Has Surgery Coming Up. This Morning This Was Left On My Desk By My Boss

My boss loves stones of all kinds and we have talked about our love of labradorite. She had mentioned red labradorite which I had never heard of. The ring is red labradorite and the card says, "I think about you at times and what you are going through and I know how tough life can be. You are always positive and there for the clients, your peers, and even me. Here is something I wanted to give you. As I said, jewelry is my thing and this is a red labradorite. I love it and hope you do too. Please take care of yourself and know I am here for you as is the team. Have a blessed day!"

I've never heard of that stone before, so I googled it and found this: The gem is incredibly rare and I have seen some gem traders trying to sell Red Labradorite for over $1000 per carat, placing it amongst the most expensive red gemstones on the planet.

Everyone fails every now and then. That is how we learn: Failling is not bad, however you can handle it in good or bad ways. If you never fail, you were not challedged enough, will propably be bored like hell, and won't grow as a person as a result. What is important is how you failures are handled, and getting the ballance just right between the numbers of successes and failures.

One blessing at work is I get to decide if staff gets extra time off. I give my incredible staff all day Good Friday, all day Christmas eve (and sometimes a half-day off before Christmas eve), New Year Eve, their birthday, plus a floating holiday of their choice. And I like it when a holiday falls in the middle of the week, because I'll give them the day or days before or after off. My new President doesn't really appreciate it though. My days are numbered there.

the sad thing is that the immediate managers probably don't make THAT much more and need to pay out of their pocket, while the big bosses get a spending budget but don't use it - or on stuff for themselves (again, not all of them, but I see it in my company. Bosses get 500.- a month for expenses which they do not have as they don't travel/go for lunches and they could easily invite the team for a few drinks but nope, not happening)

My boss always remember to come by for every employees birthday. And when you're on vacation or it's the weekend he will call.

it's interesting how you are not allowed to stomp on the flag or burn it but it's fine to wrap it around your genitalia (referring to swimwear)

For anyone that doesn’t what this is, it’s a feeding table for multiple babies/toddlers, like a highchair x 6.

This is only funny if it is a running joke between Abby & the boss, otherwise I don't know what to think of it.
