Time and Date - What do people do? Boss’s Day is dedicated to all employers and provides a prospect of improving the liaison between employers and their staff. Many workers dedicate this day to their supervisors for various reasons, such as supporting staff with their jobs and careers. This observance also gives employees a chance to recognize those in supervisory positions. Some people give their bosses cards, gift certificates, or flowers on Boss’s Day. This observance is becoming increasingly popular in various workplaces. It has received both praise and controversy.
Seanny (Maestro and Dr. Jack too in the event that they still write here), in case you're wondering, I'll accept a 6 pack in lieu of flowers.
Yep, it's the most under-appreciated holiday of the year, National Bosses day. The one day a year where you have to begrudgingly stop bitching about your boss behind his back and just go about your work for the day.
As a middle manager at my real job I should look forward to this annual day celebrating my leadership and guidance skills, right? Wrong. Not once have I gotten so much as a new ball point pen or maybe one of those stress balls, never mind, gift certificates, flowers, or bosses cards (which I'd reject as frivolous and wasteful spending). It's literally the worst day of the year, I just sit there and sulk like a fat girl with no date on Valentines day. It's to the point where I honestly might just go buy myself a World's Best Boss mug a la Michael Scott...of course I'm only in charge of four people so they'll easily deduct that I bought the thing for myself, but I still think I'd feel a little better than getting nothing.
I mean what gives? Do we need more elastic wars? Chair races? Maybe a laser tag sesh the next time we're their late and most of the building is empty? I just don't know where to turn at this point.
