Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThere's a Administrative Professionals day and a Bosses Day - what about the rest of us??
Our company has like 30 bosses, 10 Administrative Professionals, and then like 100 of us who aren't bosses and aren't Administrative Professionals. I understand the Administrative Professionals celebrating their bosses and kissing their asses, that's what business is all about, then the bosses celebrating the Administrative Professionals by acting like they care and buying them a $10 starbucks gift card, but the rest of us have boss we have to celebrate without them celebrating us in return. Everyone has a boss but not everyone is an Administrative Professional, we're just the average worker. Ok, rant finished.

One year we had a golfing outing. One a day out on a yacht. One a trip to Vancouver Island to go fishing. Barbeques, picnics, concerts, pub crawls. It was great.

All that Boss and Admin Day is a crock.

(9,213 posts)everyone has a boss, but the bosses only have to recognize the Administrative Professionals.
How did this system get so screwed up like everything else out there?!?!
