My boss made me want to cry!

[Squeaksmyalias]

I am still in awe of the man I work for now. I just am shocked at how generous he is.

We had set up the backdrops and equipment for the first day of underclass photos at a school when a teacher came down to ask about a girl in the senior class getting her picture taken. The girl was in foster care and couldn't afford the more expensive in studio packages we do or the regular in school portraits so the teacher wanted to see what we could do.

My boss told her to have the student come down and he photographed her himself and set her up with some very nice photos giving her the most expensive package for free.

I'm just so proud to be working for him and for him to act like it was no big deal was wonderful. In comparison to where I used to work this is a huge change I'm still surprised that I work for someone who works with us and works longer hours then the rest of us. I'm so glad I got the job and work for this company.

That sounds awesome. Im glad youre in a better job situation.

[Whiskey]

Aw he sounds wonderful and probably made that girl's whole year.

[XCashier]

That was very kind of him. The world needs more people like that.

[Magpie]

That is so nice, especially given that (correct me if I'm wrong), but doesn't he work basically on spec? Goes in and takes all those pictures on the hope that parents will want pictures of their preciouses?

We get a contract with the school system, or sometimes just the school. We get extra money if kid's parent's buy different packages, he pretty much lost money on it. He took more photos and the size of the package she got cost more than what he would have made if we just did the year book and ID photo.

The girl was thrilled she couldn't stop grinning. I was excited for her she was a total sweet heart. It was her own little photo shoot, she had a personal photographer and three girl's helping to make sure she looked awesome.

we have a correspondent on our local news station that highlights good AND bad employers.

if you have one, this might not be a bad employer to have a spotlight shown on (bad in the way that hes awesome and deserves excessive business)

I think he deserves the attention, but I think the EWs would ruin everything, they would want tons of pictures of their little darlings, and try to claim no money. From what I've heard we have that enough already.

It be more of a possibility for me to rat out my old boss.....She tortured me too much for me to want to be kind and let that go. I'm trying to be the bigger person but it's hard!

[Whiskey]

dude being a bigger person sucks, be like me. I'm a little person. A little sexy person.

(edit: dont be like me)

Also, it could be phrased that your employer has helped out "charitable causes" and is "giving back to the community"

both of which are true. Less EW's, maybe? (i can dream)

[Mytical]

Yes whatever you do, don't mention the free photos..or every EW in the area will expect them. I agree with Whiskey 'helping charitable causes' and 'giving back to the community' are perfect.

[Squeaksmyalias]

Yea, free photos tends to draw out the vampires . So far I haven't had to deal with those yet. I'm so glad.

[Kristev]

What a great boss.

[ohsobitter]

Aw, that makes me want to cry too. What a sweet man.
