Thanks, Boss!

From the workforce, translated…

When I first started working, I’d not had any certifications, but, when I was interviewed by the business owner, he’d told me, “Licensures are not the most important things, I’d weighed your passions about work even more”.  And so, I’d worked for the company, for sixteen years, with absolutely NO international certifications; from a little nobody, to now, having made a reputation for myself, I give all the credits to my boss, who’d shown me a ton of tolerance and trust too.

Recently, I’d felt bugged by something minor, and, my moods were affected, and my health got affected as well, a tumor was found underneath my arm, on my armpit, and it’d worsened as the days go by, in the recommendations of the doctors, I was prepared for surgery.

The day before my leave of absence from work, my boss came to give me encouragements in person, told me to relax, to face whatever comes by way bravely.  The very night that the surgery was done, my cell phone started ringing, it was my boss, calling to ask how it went, I was so very moved by this.

I’d taken three weeks off from work, and the week before I was about to get back to work, my body started acting up once more, not only didn’t the surgery help, my tumor metastasized; the doctor suggested a second surgery, and this time, it’s a larger area on my body, and it would take me longer, to heal  up.

The very day I was about to go under the knife, my boss called me, asked me which room I was in, wanted to come and pay me a visit at the hospital.  As he entered into my hospital room, I couldn’t move, just lay there on the bed, but, my boss didn’t carry his status as the boss, stood right by my bed, chit chatted with me, told me to focus on getting better.  Seeing this gentle man who came to visit me, other than feeling moved, I was overwhelmed with gratitude at the same time.

After I’d taken some time off, the first day I’d returned back to work, something was up again, with the wound, I’d immediately taken a leave of absence, went to the hospital.  The doctor said, that there was, a volume of bloody fluid accumulating inside, and he’d immediately made an incision, so the fluid could come out.

It was, so excruciatingly painful, after I returned back to the office, with my face completely white, I’d bumped into my boss again, he had that look of worry and nervousness, asked me, “What’s happened?  How come your body wouldn’t heal up properly?”, after he’d shot a series of inquiries out at me, he’d started sharing with me, how he’d taken care of his wounds, and taught me how I should dress my wounds, how to take care of myself better.  Although he’d had a harsher tone of voice, because of how worried he was about me, but he’d filled my heart up with warmth and bliss.

The very next day, as my boss saw me, he’d chased me out of the office, made sure that I’d dressed my wounds the way he’d taught me to.  This time, I truly believe, that being able to work for my boss, it must’ve been something that I’d done correctly in a past life.

There’s this need of a certain level of affinity in getting along with someone, and, the boss and the workers are normally opposites, but I’m more than lucky, to have a boss who’d shown me insurmountable support, like a father would.  His kindness, his mercy toward me, I shall, carry it in my heart forever.  Thank you, boss!

So, this, is how much an employer cares for his worker, there is a need, for this kind of bosses everywhere, because, if you can’t even care about your employees like they’re your family, how can you expect your employees to remain loyal and faithful to you, or the company???  This business owner is setting a good example for his employees here.
