Your boss is your boss but sometimes he also buys you coffee to celebrate the first day you're both back in office together after your six week sick leave and his three week accidental family sabbatical and pencils a few one-on-ones into his calendar so he can touch base with your recovery and ambitions re your professional development and pauses when he walks past your desk to comment how nice it is to hear your laughter again or see your smile and it's corny but it still makes you feel a little less miserable

#assert boundaries and maintain them obvs but like ... i will say that working in the public sector where profit is not the goal #does shift the role of supervisors somewhat and you do occasionally end up with a boss who genuinely believes in supporting and protecting #their people. its not often enough sure and theres still a million problems. but if boundaries are applied then good eggs are good #and im grateful and bewildered to have a vp who is a very supportive person first and a boss second #tbd im sorry i just need a little moment
