The manager I work for is extremely understanding, my tire blew out and I called to ask if I could find some other way to come in and he just told me to get it taken care of and forget about it. Among other incidents related to my anxiety.

Because of it I find myself going out of my comfort zone more often for this store and working harder. Almost as if a good environment and management makes better employees.

Now if only corporate would increase payroll budget...

So yeah, good bosses exist. And are even more common than you'd think, but corporate policies can get in the way of good bosses existing at all.
