That made all of us scratch our heads too, lol.
This is what I got...for history on the subject.
National Boss Day began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Ill., registered the holiday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Haroski wanted to designate a day to show her appreciation for her boss and others in that role. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. She believed young employees often do not realize the challenges managers face.
Ms. Haroski chose Oct. 16, her father’s birthday, as the date for National Boss Day because she felt he was an exemplary boss.
National Boss Day has become an international celebration in recent years and now is observed in countries such as England, Australia and South Africa.
Hallmark first made National Boss Day cards in 1979.
Gooo hallmark...bah

By some people who wanted to kiss the boss's ***. Hallmark jumped into the act by making cards.

Lower than expected quarterly earnings at Hallmark one year.
