Boss's Day!?
What is this ridiculousness? Please explain why bosses are so insecure they need to have their own official day to gather all their "paeons" to worship how wonderful the bosses allegedly are?

You'd think absolute power would be enough for them.

3. Yet another manufactured holiday
designed to sell more greeting cards. When they start having "low level, poorly paid employee day", perhaps I'll get on the bandwagon.

4. Really.
Is there a "Lowly Mailroom Guy Day"?

8. I'm still waiting for that.
Also waiting for "overworked IT worker day"

Seeing balloons sprouting out of cubes that say "Happy Boss's Day!" is truly an amazing sight for me. My last company may have laid me off twice, but at least they didn't make us celebrate Boss's Day. :-)

10. Exactly
In the past, I got the impression that "Boss's Day" was a reaction to "Secretary's Day". If that's true, it makes it even more ridiculous than it would be otherwise.

9. Today!
If you worked here, you'd be getting balloons and an afternoon cake party!

11. Well, I'm a boss, and frankly I think that only having one
official Boss's Day is a huge ripoff. There should be at least one/week. And incidentally, isn't the "Day" officially tomorrow?? I don't work on Saturdays!!!

No soup for me!!!!!

12. Quit your bitching and get back to your hole.
Your Boss.
