A boss button is a privacy program or feature that hides whatever is on the user's screen at that moment and displays a dummy screen, such as a fake spreadsheet, to fool anyone else who might be looking.
One of the most popular uses of the boss button is on the CBS Sports and NCAA site for live streaming coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.USA Today: It's Tempting to Watch NCAA Basketball at Work, But Be Cool
March Madness Boss Button
A boss button is featured on the March Madness On Demand site.
