I know we love to carut our bosses. But since it’s Valentine’s Day, I thought, why not spread a little love instead. Share a story about something your boss did that truly touched your heart.
I’ll go first.
This is the story of the first time I experienced a blackout.
(For the non-drinkers, this is when you drink until you pengsan and completely forget what happened the night before 😅)
Some years ago, I was going through a rough patch in my personal life. I was torn between men. One day, something happened and I just couldn’t focus at work. So, I told my boss, “Can I take the day off?”
He said, “Sure.”
I packed my things in the office and went back to my empty nest. I went to the kitchen, opened my bottle of Vodka. One shot, two shots, three shots… and the next thing I knew, I woke up in my bed.
I walked out to the living room – the sofa was senget, the bathroom was a mess, and for some reasons, I had removed the power supply to the TV and router. 😵💫
I was so confused. Then, I realised, it’s 8am! OMG, I’m late for work! But do you think my head was in the right space to go to work? Yeah… no.
I called my boss and told him I had a bad night and I just couldn’t. And then, I started sobbing.
He responded, “It’s alright, Ling. Take all the time you need. Take another day off, or two. We’re here for you. Everything is going to be alright.”
Happy weekend, everybody. Hope you can spread some love to your boss too today.
xoxoxo, AuntyHR
