What is Boss Day?

The National Boss Day is celebrated every October 16. It is time to acknowledge the people in the position as the “Boss.”

This day of recognition started in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski. She worked as a secretary at State Farm in Deerfield, Illinois. She registered this Boss’ Day with the US Chamber of Commerce.

She chose October 16 because she wants to honor her father’s birthday. In 1962, Otto Kerner, the Governor of Illinois, proclaimed the date as the official celebration.

The purpose is to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the bosses.
