I got ‘hired’ on at my current job as a non-employee temp worker with no health insurance or sick days, as it was the only kind of role I could get remotely related to my field since I was a fresh immigrant here in the US. My boss fought tooth and nail for me to get hired full-time with a 30% raise and our amazing health benefits. Now just 6 months later, she’s petitioning her boss to give me a promotion when I feel like I just got here, and would have happily spent the next year or two learning before trying to move around. I owe a lot to her for giving me a chance when nowhere else would.
