Plan something different this Boss’s Day. They have encouraged you and applauded you when you did a job well. But we as employees often forget to thank them. They are often termed as unfair or face undue criticism. But on 16th October, we get an opportunity to show our appreciation for the well-deserved supervisors. While they can arrange for a simple cake cutting on our birthdays or happily grant us a leave, on their day, i.e., Boss’ Day, they need to be celebrated too. They are facing challenges and pressures daily too as they belong to a senior or higher position. 

Let’s give them a break and surprise the boss with some gifts to show we care for them too. We have not included any DIY Boss’s Day gifts as we know your schedule is too hectic to be making a gift yourself now!
