my best boss, well there were ten of us at the firm but the first thing i had to do was convince him to let me telecommute when telecommuting wasn’t a thing (i was his best bookkeeper. no, best employee. and i was graduating high school and leaving for college. it was ten minutes extra work on their end per client to scan the supporting documents, back up every client onto a zip disk, encrypt the zip disk, test the zip disk to make sure it wasn’t corrupted, send me three because if you remember those shitty zip disks looking at them wrong on your gods they were the worst piece of technology but we got it to work and we now were offering scanned records as a standard service for their bookkeeping and i don’t think even PriceWaterhouse was doing that in 1997 (do you remember 30 years ago well?). So, like best boss but also best employee.
i got to do whatever i wanted at that firm as long as i got the work done.
