Tweets About Bosses You’ll Be Glad You Don’t Work For

You’re not the only one with a boss who makes you question your sanity.

Tweets About Bosses You’ll Be Glad You Don’t Work For

Horrible bosses can drain you. They can stifle enthusiasm. And they’re bad for the economy.

On the flip side, if you’re currently working with a bad boss — or have ever had one — you’re significantly less likely to become one yourself. But knowing that still doesn’t make it easier to work for a difficult person.

What may help, however, is a little humor. And being reminded that you’re not the only one in this situation. So here are some of the most egregious (and sometimes most entertaining) tweets from and about horrible bosses.

The Boss Who Doesn’t Respect the Weekend

Saturday is for sleeping and relaxing, not working.

The Accidental Boss

It’s hard to be a good leader or manager if you’re not even sure if you’re the boss.

The Boss With No Boundaries

Maybe you have a good relationship with your employees. But this is a little too close for most people’s comfort.

The Boss Who Blurs Lines

It’s never a good idea to get too close to your boss. Or they may become your ex...boss.

The Boss With No Compassion

This boss certainly sounds pretty callous to fire someone who is already going through so much.

The Humorless Boss

Puns aren’t always welcome in the workplace, even if they’re as brilliant as this one.

The Boss Who Doesn’t Walk the Walk

It’s hard to respect someone if they’re busy telling you what to do but they don’t do the basics themselves.

The Brutally Honest Boss

Some bosses don’t waste any time sugarcoating what they mean.

The Boss Who Dishes It But Can’t Take It

When talking to your boss, there’s always a fine line between “the truth” and “what they want to believe is the truth.”

The Boss Who Doesn’t Know What They’re Talking About

Easily one of the most infuriating things about bad bosses is the fact that they often don’t know what they’re talking about (and you theoretically could call them out on it, but you really can’t).

The Boss Who Doesn’t Share Information

If you don’t set up an environment for your workers to thrive and be productive while you’re gone, you can’t ever leave and that’s not their fault.

The Boss Who Makes You Question Your Sanity

The only thing more frustrating than being given more work is when you’re condescendingly told you’ve already been told to do something (and you know you weren’t).

The Passive-Aggressive Boss

You know you may not be your boss’s favorite when they tell you that you should feel lucky to work even minimal hours.

The Farty Boss

Even if they’re a nice person, it’s hard to work with a gross boss.

The Boss Who Tries Too Hard to Be a Fun Boss

It’s always both way too early and way too late to do the Macarena in the office.

Some bosses can’t be trusted to look out for anything other than the company (and their own) interests.

Be careful what you wish for, boss, because you just might get it.

The Callous Boss

Not everyone wants to share personal life details with their boss, especially if their boss may use that knowledge to get you to do more work.

The Worst Boss

We can not only be our own worst enemies, we can also be our own worst bosses. Sometimes another person motivating you can make all the difference in your productivity.

The Old-Fashioned Boss

Some bosses don’t understand that you need medicine and/or rest to get better from a cold. You do not need an old-timey shot of hard alcohol like they did back in the Wild West.

The Cryptic Boss

It’s bad enough if your boss says something you don’t understand, but making you figure it out off the clock seems like an extra dose of rude.

The Unrealistic Boss

It can be frustrating when your boss expects you to go above and beyond to get to work no matter the weather conditions.

The Aloof Boss

Is it so hard to simply say, “Good job”?

The Cursing Boss

The only f-word that’s welcome in an office setting is “Friday.”

The Judgmental Boss

Even if someone is having an “off” day looks-wise, you don’t need to point it out. Ever.

Some bosses will call your bluff when you threaten to quit. And, in doing so, they’ll usually win the fight.

The Smelly Boss

One man’s roses are another man’s corpse.

The Serious Boss

Getting fired is tough. But finding out you’ve been fired via text message? That’s extra rough.

The Disappearing Boss

It doesn’t exactly inspire a great deal of faith in your boss when they stand you up for a meeting because they’re in another country and failed to mention it.

The Hierarchical Boss

A boss that goes out of their way to not be approachable usually isn’t a great leader.

The Chatty Boss

What’s even worse than a boss who won’t stop talking to you is a boss who knows they’re interrupting you and can’t help themselves.

The Revenge Boss

Every once in a while you get to see a former horrible boss be brought to justice in one way or another.

If you already said it several times, people probably wouldn’t need to ask again.

The 'I’m Not Your Friend' Boss

They may laugh along with you for a while...until they remind you they’re your boss.

The Loud Boss

It’s bad enough you have to endure the loud sounds of your co-workers. It’s even worse when your boss gets involved.

The Boss That Takes You up on Your Offer

Sometimes you just want to seem like a good employee, not actually be one.

The Note-Loving Boss

If there’s something that pertains to the whole company, saying it in person is way nicer than leaving a passive aggressive note out for everyone.

The Hypothetically Uncaring Boss

It’s sad when you think your boss cares so little about you that they wouldn’t even blink an eye if you were gone.

The Beet Boss

You know what they say, if you can’t beet ‘em, make your employees eat ‘em...or something like that.

The Travesty of a Boss

The worst part of this tweet is that every boss who has ever done this to poor Travis probably thinks they’re the first one to come up with it and the cleverest person in the world.

There’s no better way to waste your afternoon (and ruin your mood) than sitting in a bunch of meetings you’re forced to be at.

The best part about some horrible bosses is when they’re a distant memory.

The Night Owl Boss

Nighttime is for sleeping and relaxing, not work “madness.”

The Tough Love Boss

When you’re not feeling great, your boss may be nice enough to let you go home. But not without first making you feel a little worse about yourself.

The Procrastinating Boss

It’s like this boss wanted to be nice but then realized that they can just be nice another time instead.

The Boss Who Knows Too Much About You

In order to keep a professional relationship healthy, it’s best if you keep some space and distance between your boss and your (sometimes embarrassing) personal life.

Hey, not all bosses are perfect. They’re a lot more manageable when they know there’s room for improvement on their end and are grateful to the employees who stick with them.

The Neverending Bad Boss Cycle

There’s nothing worse than being relieved to be free from a one horrible boss only to be in a situation with a new — and still horrible — boss.
