It’s National Boss Day today, October 16th. I know what you’re thinking…it’s a lot like National Children’s Day or Un-Birthdays. Isn’t it celebrated every day?
Talk about your Hallmark holidays. In fact, the number one return for "National Boss Day" on Google this morning was from Hallmark.
Still, perhaps we can come up with some ways to celebrate National Boss Day:
- Help him exercise; park in their spot. You know, the one between the front door and the handicapped spot.
- Send her an e-card; nothing says "I care" like hitting send.
- Help him connect with Gen Y employees; set them up with a MySpace page and use that picture from last year’s Christmas party. You know the one.
- Take them out to lunch; just make sure you use the company card.
- Help her win back the staff’s adoration; hijack her email and send out a company-wide memo about an open bar at O’Reilly’s starting at 4pm. (Pocket the company card from lunch.)
- Help him network; log into his LinkedIn account and give recommendations to random contacts always ending with "in the bedroom."
- Give her some time off; outsource her job to India.
