20+ Screenshots of Clueless Bosses Who Clearly Don’t Understand the Meaning of Work/Life Balance

Life is about more than a job, but a lot of bosses out there don’t want to recognize that. From a CEO who expects their employees to leave their desk only twice a day to a boss who thinks that weekends are only for those who earned them, we’ve compiled a list of screenshots featuring clueless bosses who clearly don’t understand the meaning of work/life balance.

The Bathroom Smell Check

While businesses seem to have a problem with it, humans have to go to the bathroom once in a while. It's just an anatomical fact and something that can't be controlled with threats or other tactics. But that doesn't mean that bosses don't try...

This boss seriously crossed a line with this. What if people's number twos simply don't smell that much, or if they have digestive issues that keep them in the bathroom for a while? Either way, it's none of their boss's business.

Cancel Those Plans

Days off are days off, and every person is entitled to do what they want with their free time. But don't tell your boss that, because they'll disagree and try to call you into work anyway, as this boss did.

While everyone understands that the boss has to do what they can to get shifts covered, asking an employee to cancel plans on a day off and acting like you're entitled to ask such a thing is not okay.

But Not That Early

Some bosses are so out of touch with reality that we all question how they're still in their positions. One idea that they seem to have is that their workers must sacrifice all aspects of their personal lives for work.

Who decided exactly that "youngsters" in the workforce are unreasonable for expecting a work/life balance and to spend time with family? That's one of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered by a boss. Your employees aren't indentured.

Stop Being a Victim

Losing a family member is devastating, and the last thing anyone in that position would want to do is go to work. One would hope that their boss understands and is empathetic, but sadly, that isn't always the case.

Imagine thinking that going to work after suffering a family loss is some sort of competition and actually having the nerve to imply they're "being a victim." We hope that the boss got fired after this exchange.
