You should never be forced to celebrate the person who determines whether you get a paycheck.
Today is officially Boss’s Day, and workplaces all over the country are celebrating it—but they shouldn’t. In fact, they should pretend it doesn’t exist.The Decadeslong Travesty That Made Millions of Americans Mistrust Their Kids’ SchoolsThe Perfect Fall Dinner Staple Is Typically Thought of as a Breakfast FoodIf you’re lucky enough to never have encountered Boss’s Day, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a holiday where employees are expected to express gratitude for their managers and employers.
I worked in a department where the department head was both feared and despised by the entire team under her. Yet strangely on “Boss’s Day,” people still felt gingerly obligated to give her chocolates, cards, and stuffed animals as a showing of gratitude. She later sent out an email picture proudly displaying all of her trinkets and saying how “proud” she was. Ugh.
I think our celebration is really driven by the office manager. Most of the bosses are decent enough people and they probably never even see the office manager’s icky “full participation” email. They just see the generous morning and afternoon spreads and think how great they must be to deserve such largesse.
