History of National Boss’s Day
The concept of National Boss’s Day was created by Patricia Bays Haroski in the year 1958. She registered the day with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when she was working as a secretary at State Farm Insurance in Deerfield, Illinois. She selected October 16 for National Boss’s Day as the day that honors her father’s birthday. She selected her birthday because she was working for her father at the time, and she also felt that her father’s work was not recognized and appreciated by the employees. Four years later, in 1962, Otto Kerner, Governor of Illinois, backed Haroski’s registration, and he officially declared the day as National Boss’s Day. In 1979, Boss’s Day grew popular, and Hallmark Cards issued a National Boss’s Day card in order to honor this day. Boss’s Day is dedicated to all those wonderful bosses and provides a possibility of improving the connection between the bosses and their staff. This day also gives the employees a chance to remember those amazing bosses as sometimes we don’t think much about our Boss’s and how hard they are working and also how much they help us to make sure our salaries get paid correctly. This day Day is celebrated on October 16, or the closest working day every year in many workplaces in the United States, to improve the bond between the bosses and employees, and it is not a nationwide official holiday. Boss’s Day has undergone both praise and controversy.
