Boss Day

Boss Day, Many changes have occurred in the workplace in recent years, it seems that the role of a boss has become much more than that of one who manages and oversees the planning of projects. Bosses now serve as mentors, coaches, professionals, both personal and cheerleaders for their employees. According to American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM) this year, employees will be looking for ways to thank their supervisors for all the extra support given.

Founded in 1958 (and officially proclaimed in 1962) Boss Day was created when Patricia Bays Haroksi asked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to devote 16 October as the official date to celebrate bosses. The date was chosen in honor of his father, who was also his boss, as was her birthday. Since its inception, Boss’s Day became an occasion to recognize managers worldwide popular, as it is now celebrated in England, Australia and South Africa.

This year, the latest collection of Boss’s Day cards from American Greetings showcase fresh, contemporary design combined with modern language, which expresses the genuine appreciation felt for expanding the role that managers play today and a office fun little humor. In addition, a selection of fun Boss’s Day e-cards can be found at AmericanGreetings.com to provide a little midday pick-me-up.
