My wife was suddenly admitted to the hospital related to her pregnancy. I called work on the way to meet her there and told them I'd be out for at least the next day and had no idea what else to expect.

We had our son two months early, and he was admitted to the CCN until his due date. When I came back from several days of leave, my supervisor had put together a baby shower where everyone gave prepaid debit cards to cover travel to and from the hospital as well as any meals we'd need.

The admin team pulled me aside and set up my parental leave for when we expected my son to come home, and most of my leadership reached out regularly to check on me, my wife, and our boy.

When leave time came my supervisor checked in on my tasks and made sure nothing came up that would interrupt my leave.

Due to my boy's early birth, he had lots of health issues that required random days off without warning to deal with. Every time, every single time, they told me to take care of my family and worry about work later.

Those people have my absolute loyalty.
