40+ Screenshots of Bosses That Show How Being in Power Brings Out the Worst in Some People
When You Break the No Sitting Rule
Kudos to this girl for standing up to her boss after he called her out for sitting on a stool during her shift at work. Bear in mind that her manager knows she has two broken bones in her foot.
She’s sick of the abuse and decides to quit when her boss turns on the charm and quickly changes his story. We don’t blame her for leaving. No one deserves that kind of abuse from a power-hungry boss.
When You Slap Back With the Law
This employee knows their rights. They issued the ultimate comeback when they stated the laws regarding employment and pay. Now, this is someone who won’t allow their rights to be violated! Good for them that they’re so familiar with the laws. That being said, it’s a shame that they need this type of information in order to protect their rights.
While the employer’s response could’ve been a bit more apologetic, we think they got the point and will have to give their employee their pay.
No Work Today
This poor employee got drenched walking to work in a thunderstorm. They were met with this when they arrived at work, soaked to the bone.
Everyone had been given the day off, and no one had informed this person. Maybe a company-wide email would’ve done the trick.
When You’re Sick and Can’t Work
Shift work is extremely tricky to manage. Most companies expect you to find someone to cover your shift when you can’t work but they add a cap to the number of hours someone can work.
Toby first went through a long discussion with his boss about being unable to work due to being sick before ultimately deciding that his health was more important than being treated poorly. Good on you, Toby! No one should feel bad that they’re sick. This boss could’ve been a bit more understanding.
You get nice bosses… and then you get bosses from hell that seem to be out to do nothing more than throw their power around. Working with these bosses is awful. But with the cost of living, employees have no choice but to suck it up and do their jobs as best they can. We’ve compiled a list of screenshots that prove just how much power can bring out the worst in some people. From not allowing employees time off to mourn the passing of a loved one to insisting they come into work when they’re sick, some bosses don’t have a single empathetic bone in their bodies.
