One of my staff text me this yesterday: hi coop i know i kept it short but i wanted to say thank you. not just bc of the money. just for being a great boss. i appreciate you for putting the trust that you have in me to get work done. it means a lot and thank you for your kindness. it was a stressful tax season but you and everyone else made it manageable in ways i could not explain. when i get sick and cant come into office. you went above and beyond and let me know that everything is okay and to recover as fast as possible. i know there’s money to be made but knowing that i can adjust based on my health made me feel confident to take my time and also work from home if needed. again, thanks coop.
