She wanted a day for employees to demonstrate their appreciation of their bosses. This day was meant to help employees better understand what a boss s job entails. October 16 was chosen in honor of Ms. Haroski s father s birthday. To this day it remains a nationwide celebration of company leaders their hard work and dedication. Now it s officially time to celebrate. From one manager to another I am wishing you a Happy Boss s Day Enjoy it.
