Here is some great advice on how to acknowledge National Boss Day on Thursday October 16, 2008. You will look like a star employee in no time!
Whom do you acknowledge on National Boss Day?
Technically a boss is considered anyone who manages or supervises you; but a boss can also be a higher ranking employee whom you report to on a daily basis. If you think of someone as your boss- even though on paper he/she may not be- then you should acknowledge him/her as well.
How to acknowledge your boss on National Boss Day?
The most popular way to acknowledge your boss is with a card, a request to take him/her out for coffee/lunch, or with a small gift. It is important to write (or verbally state) what a mentor and inspiration this individual has been for you, and how much you appreciate this opportunity to work with and learn from him/her.
How much to spend and what to give?
Not a lot! You do not want to spend a lot on your boss for the following reasons: 1) you make less money than him/her 2) you do not want to be too extravagant and make your gift seem like a bribe and 3) well- the above two reasons pretty much cover it.
Small and thoughtful gifts are much appreciated- from a bagel & coffee to your boss’s favorite candy (you should know what this is- you do spend all day with him/her).
Another great idea is to have everyone chip in and acknowledge the boss together. This not only allows for the boss to get a nicer, bigger gift, but it also alleviates any competition amongst co-workers. Some gift ideas for collaborative gifts for the boss are a tie with his initials, personalized cufflinks, stationery, etc.
