About the Holiday

Boss's Day is a day to let your boss know how much you appreciate working for them and thank them for their kind and fair principles in the workplace. Boss's Day was created by Patricia Bays Haroski in 1958. She picked October 16th since this was her boss's birthday. Her boss was her father. This holiday has been criticized as a Hallmark holiday, however, Hallmark didn't start making cards for this holiday until 1979. Use this link to learn more about the history of National Boss Day.
