National Boss's Day 2010: The BEST Bosses (PHOTOS)

National Boss's Day (or "Bosses Day") is traditionally held every Oct. 16, though since that's a Saturday this year, the 2010 celebration is today.

The day is essentially one to show appreciation for your boss, thank them for their service and all their hard work managing you among their day-to-day duties.

There are plenty of ways for you to extend gratitude to your current boss or a previous supervisor. You could send a personalized video using a tool like this, send an eCard through a service like this, give a small gift, write a personal note, or use your creativity to do something else!

Of course, there are many different kinds of bosses, all with their own managing styles, but which type of boss is best?

A new survey from Adecco found that the following people have been cited as the United States' most desirable bosses. Which of these folks could you see yourself reporting to? Vote below!

I don't know. All those big egos (except maybe Michelle Obama). I think they all would make terrible bosses. How about Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street? I'd like to work for him.

None of the above.

you get a car! you get a car! and you. and you.

Who wouldn't want to work for a boss that is constantly pampering their staff? Sign me up, I'll mop the floors!

That Semper Fi Bagger supporter,diluted with mommy grease.

15 percent of survey respondents said the former Governor of Alaska would be enjoyable to report to.

Aha, what is the new "patriot- middle America " Beggaring!

I think she'd be hard to work for because she doesn't deal in reality or believe in facts and I would find it hard to figure out which side of her mouth she was going to talk out of each day.

Yeah... Sarah Palin can be my boss. Then when she quits, I can take over!

[TazoWolf]

04:44 PM on 10/15/2010

Then I'd appoint someone competent & intelligent to the position.

Every day is national bosses day... What a joke.

I've heard of secretary appreciation day, which I find acceptable. But a national boss's day? Since when? Which k.ssing a.ss servile s.ob thought of this? On a boss's day you are supposed to grovel to your boss and thanking him for managing you? This is sick and disturbing.

I'd take Bush over Michelle any day if I wanted to be happy.

Sorry, I would not want Obama for a boss. Working in the WH has got to be one of the stressful jobs. Socializing with Obama is a different story but working for him in a political environment??? No way! I'm a Clinton supporter and I wouldn't want to work for her either. That lime light is way too much.

Why is Sarah Palin and George Bush on the list? In fact, none of these people are any good. Except for, Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!!

[TazoWolf]

04:43 PM on 10/15/2010

I beg to differ. I think Michelle Obama would make a FANTASTIC boss!

[TheSardonicAtheist]

07:58 PM on 10/15/2010

Well, sir or madam, I BEG to differ. I think she's too much of a pushover. Need someone strong and assertive.

Sarah Palin and George Bush? Do people not read anymore? Both are horrible to their employees, abusive and utterly narcissistic. Wow.

My best bosses were male. I had a female boss who was very vindictive and another one who didn't give a da mn , too extremes.

[CUL8R]

03:13 PM on 10/15/2010

Those sweeping judgments about female bosses is exactly why I had to fire you.

[getreal23]

03:52 PM on 10/15/2010

LOL! I resigned from both jobs.

[behindEnemyLines]

01:18 PM on 10/15/2010

Im not going to lie, I was surprised to see Bush on their.

Could be worse. Ace could be a chickenhawk.
