Four Types Of Terrible Bosses

I hate my boss. Who doesn’t, amirite? Whether you call them your manager, your supervisor, or boss-lady, the fact is, your superiors are hard to like.

I’ve had a good number of  managers in my professional life. A few of them were actually the best managers anyone could ask for. But the rest… well, I like to see my relationships with most of my managers as Tom and Jerry-esque. In the end, neither party gets what they want.

All of my controlling, insecure and just downright weird former managers have inspired me to create this list of commonly found bosses, and they’re all pretty terrible.

Mrs./Mr. Big Boss: Knows it all and owns it all. Of the “Ana Sa7eb el ma7al” style. Never wrong and it’s his/her way or the proverbial highway. Likes to provoke fights.

Mrs./Mr. Competitive: Will go head to head with any living soul around. Literally thinks he/she is the best. In one word: delusional.

Mrs./Mr. You Do The Shit And I Take The Gold: Probably found sitting on his ass watching 90’s movies on YouTube. Takes credit for everything.

And finally, the worst type…

Mr. Flirt: He basically sexually harasses anyone in the office with a vagina and, guess what, he’s married with a dozen kids.

A piece of advice for managers: Be the boss you always wanted to have… so that your employees don’t write angry articles in obscure online publications about you.
