With all due respect, in lieu of the possesive form of the “boss’s boss and the boss’ boss”

In Modern English form the Saxon genitive is as follows:
Singular > “boss’ boss”
Plural > “bosses’ boss”

There is a big difference between Syntax, Lexis, and Grammar! this is not an issue of spelling.

Respectfully,

Thanks for your great articles!

Since you questioned “boss’ boss”…it is written as follows:
- singular: “boss’s boss” – yes, three Ss
- plural: “bosses’ boss”
