Go check out the Carnival of HR at Totally Consumed.
Then go wish your boss a Happy Bosses Day — if you want to look like a total dork.
Every day is boss day, suckers. Your boss gets a paycheck and a bonus. No need for a Hallmark Card. Seriously.
Want to do something nice for your boss? Be productive. Do your job. Refrain from complaining for a few hours. Don’t call him a clock watcher or a micro-manager behind his back.
I know, I know. It’s much easier to send the boss a Hallmark card.

Well, since I’ve already established that I’m a total dork I guess it’s no surprise that the HR team here is getting treats and, yes really, a hallmark card for our manager today.
It’s okay, Minion. These things happen, but please, skip it in 2009.
Ahem,
I see nothing wrong with Boss’s Day as long as your boss is not at the VP level. We lesser bosses wouldn’t mind a little card (if you really do like working for us) when our “minions” seem to expect free lunches, gifts…etc. on Admin Assist. Day.
@Lisa Pshaw, who expects gifts at work? Your gift is your paycheck. I remember our boss telling me that the best gift I could give her is to do my job, which is where I took the line from the post above. She had some pretty great one-liners like that.
The single worst Hallmark holiday ever. I laughed at this one…Bosses Day. Ugh.
My two employees know I think Bosses Day is incredibly lame and so we ignore it. I loved the line about the best gift you could give your boss was to do your job. That is so true. Just do your job, pay attention to what you’re doing, think about how things relate to each other and don’t ask me the same question 50 times and I’m pretty much a happy camper.
