I found out my partner of two years cheated on me by having a threesome and I only found out because he had to tell me one of the partners called to say they came up positive for an STI. I’m obviously a wreck and don’t want to explain why to my coworkers plus having to be out for lab work and picking up medication has been fun since my car decided to die today.
I’m a contractor. I called my boss on teams and said something happened in my personal life and I’m struggling. I’ve never had to ask for help like this. He took my whole workload, talked to my team for me, and told me to take the rest of the week and he managed to get me PTO time to do so so that I still get paid. 😭 In his email telling me what to do he also managed to tell me I’m one of his most reliable direct reports and my work is always polished and that while he normally loves that, to please not let my perfectionism take over and get me to edit any documents before I send them.
Y’all this man is an angel. I am so grateful- I’m sure there are other good stories like this. Might cheer me up to hear.

So incredibly sorry this happened to you.

My ECD gave me heads up 3 weeks before I got laid off so I could use up my vacation days.
Uhhh, aren’t they supposed to pay them out if you get fired?
Hiring another recruiter when my workload started to become unmanageable. And now, is hiring another one. Having a manager that actually listens and cares for the well-being of their team is so rare and I’m so grateful.
This happened to me when I was an intern. I’m depressed and my sleep cycle is messed up, even now I only manage to sleep at 6 am. One day, I had a panic attack around 5 am and had to take some medication, which knocked me out and I only woke up at 1pm when I was supposed to be in the office at 10am. This was a small agency so people were trying to reach me, I called my CD right away, was almost about to breakdown again over the phone. But he was super kind and understanding about the whole thing, he told me to just take the day off, said that he understood and that he was there if I needed someone to talk to. Even though I didn’t really want it to spread, but given it’s like a 10 person office, a few more higher level people reached out to check in on me. They didn’t make me feel guilty or anything, even offered me a position at the end of my internship and to this day, I’m still really grateful for them.

Love this! Also had a very similar photo cubicle thing at an old job. Was the background pink? 😜
My male CD took me aside just to tell me he really appreciates how I manage my relationships and thanked me for being really kind. When I tell you I almost sobbed on the spot…

Time off whenever. No questions asked.
