Bosses Day In South Africa
The history and origins of Bosses Day
Bosses Day (also known as Boss's Day or National Boss Day), is a celebration that originated in 1958. Patricia Bays Haroski registered "National Boss' Day" with the US Chamber of Commerce in 1958. Patricia was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance in Deerfield, Illinois at the time, and chose October8 because she forgot that the birthday of her boss, who was her father, was actually on the 16th!
Four years later in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner supported Patricia's registration, and officially proclaimed the day.
