Don't forget the boss on Monday

Monday is National Boss's Day and since it is Friday you may have not seen the memo about this.
Yes there is a day for the Michael Scott's and Bill Lumbergh's of the world, though the "The Office" and "Office Space" characters are more than likely the parodied exception to today's slash and burn corporate culture rule. This holiday usually falls on Oct. 16 but is celebrated to the closest working day because of the weekend.
Chances are that today's bosses are as overworked as you, waiting for the hammer to drop on them just as much as you. Yes they're human, unless, of course, they're sociopathic.
In fact, this personalmoneystore.com blog notes that according to a recent survey about supervisors, most employees say they've become closer to their bosses as a result of the recession. And here's yet another point of view.
With that said, a tip of the coffee mug goes out to all of the bosses out there. They are never going to be 100 percent liked and they'll always be 100 percent feared.
Here's some good Lumbergh sound clips from the vault.
