I'm 7 weeks in to a new job and I'm currently working under the best manager I've ever had. She listens to and trusts the team, checks in on us regularly, makes sure our work/life balance is ok, checks I'm not working too late if she sees I'm online after 5:30pm, defends the team when needed, knows when to get involved and when not to, and also notices and observes a lot of things that we talk about in our regular 1:1 meetings. She's a very good listener and makes it very clear that we can go to her with any issues we might have. Safe to say, I'm loving the new job and this is a big part of it!
