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 had a boss at my old job, one time a customer was rude and bitchy to me, so he called her out and told her she'd be banned if she ever disrespected staff again. Another time a Karen really pushed my buttons, and told me to fuck off. So I told her to fuck off right back. She went to my boss to tell him I swore at her, and his response to her was "what did you say or do to him? He's my employee and I know he wouldn't have said that unless you antagonized him off the edge".

He always stood up to rude customers and refused to let anyone, be it a customer or even his bosses talk down to or disrespect us.
