Let me tell you this is a boss who's back I will always have. He didn't just do one thing but followed up with multiple acts of just decency and kindness.
1) Applied for a service tech job but he said he'll take me on as an apprentice and help me get my Millwright liscence. Two minutes after the interview he's helping me complete my application.
2) Let me know that bonus reviews are coming up in December and he'll see if he can try to get me something even though I've only been there 2 months. Gets me a raise and a small bonus.
3) Told me once after a job about why he keeps some less skilled guys on the service team. “All those guys have issues going on at home. They are trying to make themselves better but hey it will take a LOT of time. Either they stay with me and improve or they leave me after getting better but hey I'm happy that I helped someone else will get a better employee now”
4) Tells me that he wants me to leave after getting my license. Says I can make way more somewhere else than here after I'm done but if I ever need work I'm always welcome back.
Just a few things this saint of a man has done for me so far. After jumping jobs and getting let go I'm finally happy to be working. I've got a future I'm working towards and a boss who only wants the best for me.
