Funny Things Bosses Say

With Boss’s Day coming up on October 16, it’s time to give thanks to all those great bosses. But while “kids say the darndest things,” it’s also true that bosses can say some pretty funny things. If you’re looking for a few funny things to add to your Boss’s Day card, here are some famous quotes from and about bosses.

“I didn’t say it was your fault. I said I was going to blame it on you.”

“Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties”

“We are going to continue having these meetings, everyday, until I find out why no work is getting done.”

“We passed over a lot good people to get the ones we hired.”

“What you see as a glass ceiling, I see as a protective barrier.”

“The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.”

“If it wasn’t for bad bosses, I wouldn’t know what a good one was like.”

“The best time to start thinking about your retirement is before the boss does.”


A bit about Boss’s Day

Wondering where Boss’s Day came from? The holiday started in 1958 when Patricia Haroski registered it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She forgot her boss’s birthday, so she decided to create a day to honor him. In 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner officially sanctioned the day with a gubernatorial proclamation. Today, Boss’s Day is celebrated around the world.
