Seriously, who came up with this idea? Wikipedia's description: Boss' Day is a secular holiday celebrated on October 16 in the United States, Canada and Lithuania. It has traditionally been a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year.

My boss is on vacation overseas for 2 weeks and I hope he falls into the ocean.

I've never celebrated this holiday - possible because my bosses have never been kind and fair throughout the year.

I went to the grocery store this morning to buy some gummi bears to mourn the death of the Haribo founder and saw cards for this nonsense. Who would buy a card for this?

Eww, bad sign.

But congrats on your new job! I know your old job was getting you down.

Any boss that actually expects a gift or card for this "holiday", Christmas, or anytime, is self-aggrandizing. In my experience, the minions usually chip in for a cool gift for the boss and the boss gets cheap dumb [expletive] for the employees. Last year I got Facebook "like" and "dislike" stamps.

I was not aware of this holiday until today. Apparently it means that we get tons of junk food brought in. I like it.
