This post is different than most because it’s to praise her. She gave me a raise without telling me, never makes me feel guilty when my kids need me, gave me a 20% cost of living increase (on top of the raise). I work for a small pet store in a small town. When we hit personal goals she tells us to add an extra hour to our pay sheets, encourages us when we don’t hit them, and busts her ass to invest in us as people. My boss is an amazing person and I am so grateful for her and the changes she is making in this world.
