October 16 - National Boss Day
By Andy Dunmire | October 16, 2007
Today is National Boss Day!
Love’m or hate’m, today is every boss’ day to bask in the glory that is their corner office, their full-day meetings, and responsibility of managing the rest of us… and don’t we make it easy on them. Maybe we can take it easy and allow our boss a single day of peace. Well it was worth a thought at least.
If your office partakes in any festivities, send us the pictures!
Holiday Facts:
- Workplace surveys confirm that one of the most important elements of job satisfaction is a positive relationship between a supervisor and employee.
- Began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Ill., registered the holiday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
- Ms. Haroski chose Oct. 16, her father’s birthday, as the date for National Boss Day because she felt he was an exemplary boss.
- According to the U.S. Department of Labor, more than 14 million individuals are employed in management occupations, and about 37 percent of them are women. (2005)
