Boss’s Day is a fairly new holiday, celebrated every October 16 (or the next workday, if it’s a weekend) in the United States and many other countries. It was created by a secretary at State Farm who worked for her father, as a special form of celebrating the efforts of bosses around the world.
The trend caught fire in the 1960s and it has spread around the world. What is the purpose of Boss’s Day?
It started off as a form of showing appreciation for the men and women who put in long hours to coordinate their teams and complete projects. After some time, it became a viable strategy to improve interpersonal relationships in the office.
On Boss’s Day, it’s irrelevant whether you like your boss or not. We all have our differences and this holiday is a great chance to set them aside and appreciate all the hardworking superiors in our lives.
A funny message written in a Happy Boss’s Day card can be just thing you need to improve the atmosphere in your office. Use this opportunity to reflect on what your boss does for you and maybe, they will soften up once they see that they’re appreciated.
