Secretaries’ Day

Mexico celebrates a Día de la Secretaria, Secretaries’ Day. According to Uno TV, the day was set in 1958 by the president of the Secretarias Ejecutivas de México. In 2010, Chilango advised bosses to take their secretary out “para que la lleves a comer” (so that you take her to lunch).

In 2004, El Siglo de Torreón reported that the restaurants of the city were full of women celebrating the day, “acompañadas algunas de ellas por sus jefes” (some of them accompanied by their bosses). The newspaper named one host: “su jefe, el señor Constantino Papadópulos, les ofreció este convivio” (their boss, Mr. Constantino Papadópulos, offered them this get-together).
