“By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.” – – Robert Frost

History and Origin of Boss's Day

The origin of Bosses Day dates back to 1958. Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Illinois, registered it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Haroski chose the date because it was her father’s birthday. Who was her boss? ….her father.

We found an occasional reference to this as a “National” Day. The originator did not use “National” in the title. We did not find any documentation confirming this to be a “National” day. We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation.
