October 16 was the birthday of Patricia Bays Haroski’s father, and she though it would be the ideal day for the employees to officially acknowledge and honor the hard work of the Bosses and superiors nationwide.

The idea became popular across the country in no time and soon, even England, Australia and South Africa started celebrating Boss’s Day in full throttle.
