‘National Bosses Day’ Is This Week

Just to give you a little advance warning, this Thursday, October 16th is "National Bosses Day". No, I'm not trying to butter up my boss with this item, but just in case you wanted to do something in appreciation for your boss.

Here's more about National Bosses Day according to timeanddate.com:

"Boss’s Day, also known as National Boss Day or Bosses Day, is a time for many workers to appreciate their employers. It is annually observed in the United States on October 16, or the nearest working day.

The concept of National Boss Day began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, registered the holiday with the United States Chamber of Commerce. She designated October 16 as the special day because it was her father's birthday. Haroski's purpose was to designate a day to show appreciation for her boss and other bosses. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors.

Four years later in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day.

Some people give their bosses cards, gift certificates, or flowers on Boss’s Day."
