I just noticed this on our calendar and had to wonder if the boss of the calendar company made them put this here.
Edit: Wikipedia says it is real:
Boss’s Day (also written Bosses Day or Boss’ Day) is generally observed on October 16 in the United States. It has been pitched as a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.
Apparently it’s a legacy of nepotism. Someone in 1958 was working for daddy and wanted to celebrate daddy on daddy’s birthday for being such a good boss. Thanks daddy.
That might work with mid level managers but my experience has been that when the more senior folks do try to do this (for whatever reason) they are so overwhelmed by their own reality distortion they think they did a good job. I mean they don’t have to deal with the consequences of their poor choices ever, so why worry about a concept or design being bad.
I saw that on our calendar this year and laughed.
The company i work for had a huge influx of buisness for a year or two, but they mismanaged the hell out of the profits. With everything going to shit this year they had to let go of over half the company, including my husband just days before his hire date anniversary when he would have gotten more vacation days and his yearly raise…
Yeah…boss…i dont have many reasons to be thankful this “bosses day”

Hahahahahahahahahaha. I’d so love to see them try that here in France!
That has got to be a deeply sarcastic joke, hasn’t it?

Oh I think it should be a day where the boss does the actual job and shows us why they’re boss
