Best boss I have ever had?

He owned a car dealership and made me the first fulltime employed webdev in a car dealership in germany.

He believed in me and our mutual vision, and we had an awesome 7.5 years together. he gave me time to develop myself and to develop software and websites.

through my software and process optimization we were able to go from 300 sold cars per year to 3000 without hiring any more employees and without increasing workload and stress on the employees.

When I had my last day at his company, he didn't show up.
I was mad like hell, because we have spent so much time together, went to many countries together, even slept in the same hotel bed! I considered him pretty much a friend, even though he was my boss and 10 years older.

Much later he told me that he didn't show up on my last day because he didn't want to cry.

now we meet every 3 months and go out, eat and drink and just talk and laugh.

best guy ever, will never forget what he did for me.

    I'm also curious about why you left, but I'm even more curious about how sales went from 300 to 3000.

    Haha :)

    I left because the company had to let me go (due to circumstances which were out of our hands. the business went bankrupt soon after)

    and i have built some software we could use internally to make the whole dealership work far more efficiently. I also developed some websites for us, which allowed other car dealers to act like they had our cars in stock, print the vehicle details with their own logo and price and so on.

    it was a funny time :)
