History of Boss's Day

Ever wonder how National Boss's day got started? Was it some boss who felt like he wasn't getting enough appreciation every day? Actually the history of bosses' day is quite recent. Bosses' day came about over 40 years ago in 1958 in Illinois. History says a secretary by the name of Patricia Bays Haroski was the first person to want to honor her boss.

You might think that Ms. Haroski was perhaps looking for a raise or promotion by starting the first annual bosses day. No, it was because she was very attached to her boss - he was her father! She chose the day October 16th because that was her father's birthday. She promoted the idea and eventually it grew in popularity.

Although it is not an official holiday, bosses day is a great opportunity to tell your boss that he or she is doing a great job and you appreciate them! Who knows, perhaps you will be the one that gets the raise or promotion!
