The nature of my work is such that most of what I hear about myself is negative. I have built my business dealing in what are essentially radioactive labor disputes. What press I get is usually negative, and many folks I meet don’t view me warmly. I have even lost some friends over these things. It isn’t pretty, which is why I find solace in cars and dogs. But my employees surprised me last night at our Christmas party.
One of my receptionists gave a lovely little speech about me, and said I was the best boss she had ever had. They gave me a coffee cup and hat with our logo, and #1 Boss emblazoned on them.
They also got Toby a bed for the new office. I played it cool, but damn if this gesture didn’t hit me where I live.
I really enjoy providing employment and opportunity, and I am grateful and humbled that I have been lucky enough to employ these folks.

My boss and his manager (VP) came to Seattle his week, email from the VP after he left:
Appreciate you including me in your meetings this week. I just want to say I really appreciate all your hard work and most importantly your team work you continue to demonstrate. You all work very well as a team and it shows. No boundaries - only team. Your customers clearly recognize your hard work and appreciate it.
We have a fun job selling technology to the biggest companies in the world - but it just makes it that much better having teammates like yourselves on the journey.
Enjoy your holidays, unplug where you can, and spend precious time with your family and friends.

Praise from those you work with beats anything else. The media and everyone else can say what they want - what’s important is those who know you well enough even amidst the BS to know that you’re a good person.

Wonder how long it’ll take to find the firm’s website from the clues available?
(Google, Google)
A few seconds!
No, I'm not revealing it!

When you get to that point you aren’t a boss. You are a leader. Well done
