Who leaves me alone.

I once had a manager, we had regular scheduled 1-on-1s (about every month). He always asked this first: is there anything you want to talk about or do you want me to talk about [corporate-related] things? I always said: No, thanks. Then we hang up. This went on for 2 years. "Sometimes we still don't talk to this day."

Best boss I've ever had.
