Lately, I’ve realized how much management support can shape your career. Sometimes it’s your performance, and sometimes it’s just having a manager who truly believes in you. I was stuck in the same role for years until my new manager pushed me to apply for better positions. Her encouragement and support emails made a huge impact, they helped me stand out as a strong candidate. Thanks to her, I landed a role I never thought I’d get so easily. Big shout out to the real ones who lift others up!

What a great manager! I love that she pushed you to go after bigger roles instead of selfishly holding you back. It's great to hear a positive manager story and I'm sure your manager leads her team well.

She truly is amazing. When you have a great manager, the job feels lighter and even the workload doesn’t seem overwhelming. It really makes all the difference.

So happy for you! Now I just need one of those managers! Mine isn’t bad, but they definitely will not be going out of their way for anyone. I practically had to beg to learn some other things so I could eventually move out of my first position at the company, still working on that..

There are honestly very few like her. I still wonder how I got lucky enough to end up on her team. Wishing you all the best in your search for a new position. Hard work always pays off, with or without support.

Somewhat related, I have one rule: ALWAYS go to the interview. Overqualified, underqualified, happy with your current job, it doesn't matter. You never know what will come of it, and an interview isn't an obligation to take a position, if offered, Also, I go on interviews to improve my own interview skills.

That’s so true. Every interview, good or bad, teaches you something. Even if you don’t get the position, you at least walk away with a lesson on what to improve for next time.

Absolutely agree—having the right manager can make all the difference. It’s amazing what we can achieve when someone believes in us and has our back. Huge kudos to your manager for being that kind of leader! 👏

She was one of the best managers I’ve ever worked with. If I ever get the chance to become a manager myself, I’d want to lead just like her-supportive, strong, and genuinely inspiring.

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
