They say there’s no ‘I’ in ‘team’. But some people are selfish, shortsighted, and seem keen to ruin everyone’s day for their own pleasure or gain. Naturally, we call these people jerks. While unpleasant to deal with, your average, run-of-the-mill jerk isn’t usually someone to fear. Not so if they’re your boss.

Good bosses are a godsend, but bad bosses make you pray for divine intervention. Even worse than merely incompetent managers are bosses who love being jerks. Jerk bosses are by far the crème de la crème of all possible types of the species known as jerks.

Bored Panda made this list of the greatest examples of bosses acting like jerks, so you can feel a bit happier about working at your current job, in comparison. So go make yourself some popcorn, grab yourself a drink, and scroll down. Upvote your fave jerk boss stories and let us know if something similar has ever happened to you! Be sure to take a look at Bored Panda’s other stories about jerk bosses, regular everyday jerks, and the vast differences between leaders and bosses.

JDMRexTI Report

Your mom probably told you to stay away from jerks when you were a kid. However, when we’re all grown up, we can’t always choose our colleagues (and especially not our bosses), as we choose our friends. I’m sure that at one point or another we’ve all met jerks that made us grit our teeth, put on a fake smile and pretend like everything’s just peachy. When all we really wanted to do was Sparta Kick them into a volcano as a sacrifice to the venerable Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Good for you. Although having this kind of conversation via text messages seems a bit childish and unprofessional.

Ohio State University researcher Bennett Tepper explained to the Harvard Business Review that “if your boss is hostile toward you, you are going to be less satisfied with your job, less committed to the work. You are more likely to experience psychological distress. We know that performance suffers; we know that people are less helpful when their boss is hostile toward them.” So far, so good.

“I have found no upside whatsoever to a boss being hostile, even though there is a lay belief out there that if you kind of kick people a little bit, maybe you can get them motivated. We never seem to find evidence of that,” Tepper revealed how aggressive behavior isn’t too great for inspiring folks to work harder.

Tepper and his colleagues checked whether acting aggressively right back at a hostile boss would yield any positive results. Are you ready for the shocking news? No, acting like a jerk to your jerk boss doesn’t create anything of value for you, nor for anyone else. The old adage that two wrongs don’t make a right is absolutely correct. Only, in this case, two jerks don’t make a warm and supportive work environment.

Far from everyone has the luxury of quitting their jobs at the drop of a hat. That means that for quite a number of different possible reasons, some people are stuck working for bosses they otherwise wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. What can you do to survive if you’re in such a situation? Sometimes, a change in perspective can help. Thrive Global proposes learning all you can from your boss, doing the best work you can, and taking responsibility for your own happiness.

I used to work at McDonald's and thankfully worked in a good store. But one shift I was asked to go to another store to help out - I was shocked at how bad it was and informed my manager. I told her I'd never be working at that store again unless something was done. It was a new store but they 'promoted' staff from our store to go look after it but clearly the task was too much for them. I told my friends and family not to eat there.

We don’t know the situation, the boss could be sick, have a sick child etc. Either way the boss doesn’t have to let the employees know why they aren’t there and it’s their prerogative to work from home. The boss was kind enough telling others to be careful and to take their time. They weren’t being a jerk at all.

If you've ever had employees, you know the kid gloves have to come off from time to time.

To everyone asking what's wrong with this: the fact that the boss didn't go "hey, can you come into my office for a second, I need to discuss something with you," and then reprimanded them in an actual conversation. No, he left a piece of paper on his desk instead of talking to him about it, which is a cowardly way to go about it.

I'd rather get this paper then to be call to his office personally. Saves everyone the time. I mean, I won't want my collegues to be asking me why I was called in only to tell them the boss wants me to quit catching pokemons. Sounds more ridiculous, actually.

What a passive agressive b***h. What kind of a piece of s**t boss do u have to be to lack the balls and professionalism to call someone in privately and relay this message, rather than leave a note so public that anyone in the office can see? Yes the employee did the wrong thing, bit there's no.need to put them on show like this. WEAK.

Wow, I don't see any names on the warning and perhaps it is multiple people. If the other people at work already know the person that is doing this then (which is the only way a public note would hurt them) then who cares. The other workers already know.

Actually depends...if the worker is a waiting for someone to walk in so they can help them situation - then no. Anything to ward off boredom is fair.
