Boss/ superior depression

Tweet

There was a time when I have a talk with my boss before, his birthday falls on Sunday and they have great celebration with his family. I organized a surprised birthday to him when we go back to work Monday. he was really surprised and appreciate what we did, we even invited his family to join the simple lunch we made after the events , I personally give a simple birthday card to him, wishing him a great happy birthday and thanking him also for being a great boss to us. He was so touch and told me that I am so thoughtful of organizing that events and even giving him a card which i always secretly give on his yearly birthday. He was a giver to his family and to us, but that time he told me that to his family except to his wife she never received anything to his children, even simple cheap things he didn't received, when intact they were already have jobs. Sad to hear that to him and to his staff I'm always the one giving him special birthday thank you cards which always touch him. I realized that the boss need also attention personal touch not by giving the, expensive material things but love and cares, they were tired of giving of understanding to others but they also need such understanding and thoughtfulness . It didn't mean that if they have all the money will not expect anything from us. It's not the things they want no matter how small, cheap, simple it is. It's the thought that they are cared and love. THAT COUNTS MOST TO THEM.... hope boss will not be depress anymore with this revelation.
