Perhaps if he had remembered the secretary on Administrative Prof. Day I would have considered this for more than one second.

Re: How many of you bought a gift for your boss? (National Boss Day)

no, what a ridiculous holiday.
Why would I give someone who makes more money than me a gift? For what? I don't get it.

Re: How many of you bought a gift for your boss? (National Boss Day)

No way. He never gets me anything for admin prof. day and he is certainly in a better position monetarily then me to be gift giving.

I think the whole concept is a joke.

A boss or employee shouldn't need a "day" to show appreciation. If you wanted to show gratitude it can be done in numerous ways any day of the week.

It's really just another "Hallmark" holiday. A day created for stationary stores to make money.Chat Icon

I'm here today, that's his gift.

I don't think anyone here recognizes that it's National Boss Day, if they did and were collecting then I'd contribute to be a good corporate citizen but this isn't something I'd initiate.

I have never heard of such a day. But it definately sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.

I like my boss, but this still never occurs to me.


It would proabaly be weird to start now--she has been my boss for 9 years & none of the other bosses are recognized.

Nope....cause 1. I didn't know about it and 2. I never celebrate it in the past, so why start now?

I actually just found out it was today maybe an hour ago. I feel bad but maybe on my lunch break I will pick up some scratch off's or something. I love my 2 bosses; they are the GREATEST guys to work for!!!!! I am so lucky and we are very close.
