Just started driving for a new logistics company. My boss is seriously the best guy. Our shifts are only 8hrs, no matter how long the actual trip is. He also gives us a stipend for our food and for us to find a place to stay if we want to. It's not much but it's way better than I've seen in other places.

If I'm being honest, I'm a bit envious. There are so few good employers out there these days, I'm glad you found a good one!

That's great, you can still get good bosses. honestly, I'm envious too. Congratulations!

That's awesome! it does feel like it's so rare for employers to provide employees with the bare minimum to feel appreciated. Congrats and I hope you keep enjoying your job :)

That is absolutely awesome, congrats! It's funny how the "little things" add up, and having a boss that actually respects and values their employees is a rare thing indeed. Here's hoping that the years treat your kindly at your new job
