History and Significance
National Boss's Day is primarily marked in the US. It was created by Patricia Bays Haroski in 1958 when she was working at the State Farm Insurance. Her father's birthday was observed on October 16 and she observed that none of his employees were appreciative of him. While he toiled hard to keep the workplace moving smoothly, the employees did not bother. She selected this day to be celebrated as Boss's Day and registered it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day.

As the occurrence grew popular over the years, it became more of a Hallmark Cards holiday as people call it. With more awareness about class discrimination, the celebration grew into a controversy. People believed that it led to unfair pressure on employees to please their bosses/managers, who exploited and exercised their power over them.
But it draws attention to the work and hardships that all bosses or top management has to put in to continue with the workings of the company. They are at a greater position and probably go through a lot more than employees would know. So this day brings attention towards all bosses and pays respect to them. Wishing all the bosses, Happy Boss Day 2020!
