We probably all sometimes fantasize about a dream boss. A boss that lets you work from home whenever you want. A boss that doesn’t get mad when you’re late. A boss that gives you mental health days when you ask for them.

The author demonstrated that sometimes HR and company policy can be on the side of the employee.
