So if you've had an amazing boss, we want to hear from you about how they made your work-life better.

Or perhaps you had a boss early in your career who saw potential in you that you didn't even know you had and helped you get to the next level. They let you work flexible hours so you could take classes. And they helped you get the company to pay for all of them. They went above and beyond to help you succeed, and you genuinely don't know what you'd be doing now if it wasn't for them.

Or maybe your boss has always been understanding and flexible, even before the pandemic.
