Bosses Day 2017 Why we should reconsider celebrating Boss’s Day Today is Boss’s Day, but I have to admit I’ve never felt comfortable with this contrived day of recognition. I’ve never liked it because, as a manager, I believe it puts awkward stress on employees to artificially recognize managers.Think about it for a minute from the standpoint of relationship power dynamics. As an employee, should you give your boss a card? A present? Get the team to pool resources and chip in to get something nice from the group?

Then the roars from that week were followed by whimpers after a 57-14 beat-down loss to the  Houston Texans , and a 16-10 thud at home against the rudderless  Miami Dolphins . Through it all, however, there was still a sense that when everything came together offensively—if quarterback Marcus Mariota was somewhat healthy, if  Eric Decker  and an impressive group of receivers showed up and if a powerful rushing offense kept doing its bulldozing—the 201...
