I Show Different Loathsome Boss Types (5 Pics)

57

ADVERTISEMENT

There’s so much commotion regarding finding the best candidates to fill roles at jobs. However, there is so little the candidate can do to ensure the quality of his or her boss. Typically, upon hire, the odd’s are against you. Managers and CEO’s can be pink slip breathing tyrants. Or they can turn an entire department against someone as a pass time. They can blame you for their mistakes, and they are seldom managed themselves. So here is a little medley of cartoons I made to describe a few loathsome boss types. I had to limit it to five, but maybe you have some of your own?

Hopefully, you can read these and realize that your talents are precious and navigate your best skills towards industry and a community that appreciates what you do best. Many find that it is a bit of a long road, but laughter is the best medicine while you are on your way.

    E-mails one recipient with twelve others CC’d, casting a massive shadow over its recipient.

    Sorry, but the boss of me does not show up in flip flops…thanks.

    These ones are more common these days than ever. If he sees something he doesn’t like in real time from his home during the time of leisure, then he is calling on the cell phone to let you know.

    The Passive Buffoon Boss

    He breaks out in ninety-nine bottles of beer at the sight of trouble and solves every issue with happy hour.

    The Micro Manager

    Really, really, really-REALLY needs you to send a read receipt.

    "Anyone can write on Bored Panda" doesn't mean that everyone should.

    "Add a comment..." doesn't mean that everyone's comment should be added. plus, interesting that your profile says you're "too old to care about other people's opinions" and you post your own ಠ_ಠ

    It is for so many, but a retired and experienced individual can lead from an entirely new angle!

    I've had bosses who made huge mistakes, then blamed me. One time I got laid off because if it. But then I got a better job. Ha ha.

    That certainly happens often BusLady.. but it obviously didn't detour you from offering your expertise to a better role. Great!
