As Time and Date tells it, the story of National Boss Day starts in 1958 with a daughter wishing to celebrate and show appreciation for her father, who also happened to be her boss. Patricia Bays Haroski filed the necessary paperwork needed for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce approval and opted for October 16th, her father’s birthday, for the annual recognition of the men and women that tell us what to do.
While some bosses are the epitome of cruel, other deserve this holiday to recognize that they’re always there for you and care for you whether you’re in the office with them or at home. We’d like to think the latter kind of boss would spout out wise sayings and quotes, and for this Bosses Day 2017, we’d like to turn the tables on them and deliver on some truly inspiring quotes for National Boss Day.
