A boss can really make or break a workplace. A good boss can make a work environment fun, friendly, and positively challenging. A bad boss, however... they make going to work a nightmare every day.
The tide may be changing, as more members of Generation Z are becoming managers. In 2024, Glassdoor predicted that Gen Z will make up 10% of managers in 2025.
Does that mean there won't be as many terrible bosses around? Perhaps, but work jerks are a breed that's difficult to get rid of. We've got a compilation of the most toxic and entitled bosses for you here, just so you remember the level of pettiness and absurdity some employees and managers can stoop to.

#11 Boss Wrote “Thief” On My Check
Filed a wage theft report against my former employer, was told he only paid 80% of what was owned, but I sucked it up. When I picked up the check at the Department of Labor, it had "THIEF" boldly written on the subject line. Super awkward, unfair, and embarrassing, especially with others witnessing it. Is there anything that can be done?

So, here's the deal. I found a roach a few times inside my work laptop when I got home..it couldn't come from my house and a few other colleagues complained of the same issue. I decided to prove him wrong, bought a cheap 50c chinese sticky roach trap and left my laptop at work with this trap directly next to my laptop....this is the results after a weekend in the office. Not just roaches but the roach egg sack thingy hatched and those are the babies...

#15 Boss Wasn’t Paying Attention And Sat On My Desk While Talking To A Coworker
UPDATE: So I approached him about it and he tried to convince me that they were already broken before he sat there, which I know is a lie. After talking for more than 20 minutes he then finally admitted to it, saying it was an accident and apologized. When I said he’d need to buy me a replacement pair he said “we can talk more about it tomorrow.” 🙄 Wish me luck I guess...

#16 It's Currently 83°f Inside The Office At My Job And Our Boss Is Basically Telling Us He Won't Fix The A/C Until The Company Makes More Money
Mid-June here in NJ, and we're experiencing a heatwave. Temperatures in the mid-90°F all week. The building has an old AC that has broken multiple times in the past 3 years, and instead of just fixing it entirely our boss has opted to hire patchwork services to only temporarily fix the problem. Well now the AC has been broken since last August. The company has been slow the last few months, really not making much money, and our boss is basically insinuating that he won't fix the AC until we, the workers, start to make more sales.

#17 My Supervisor's Response To Me Asking For A Raise
For context, I was told three months ago that in two months I would be moved to a different area in the company to begin working at a much higher pay rate. New employees started being hired at almost 40% more than what I make. After I found out I requested a raise and I’ve been waiting ever since. I have worked here for two years and have never had any performance issues. I told her recently that I am looking for other jobs and I’m not going to wait much longer and she promised me a raise in two weeks. Those couple weeks have passed and this is what I get. I hate my workplace.

I can't even tell you how much this enrages me. First it was only for the weekends, now it's just randomly. How effed up is that? Firstly, you don't save any energy by turning the fridge on and off, secondly, it's a really s***ty thing to do, thirdly, this way bacteria and mold can grow in there happily. But this woman is so stupid, any of these arguments will just bounce right off her head... tell me about your s***ty bosses, please.

#20 Corporate Life - Micromanaging
I do my job well enough that I now have to be scrutinized for tiny things in order for my supervisors to look like they have an important role of “managing” people. I almost got fired last year because I racked up a total of 6 minutes of tardies over the course of 2 months because I came back from lunch 1-3 mins late a few times.
I hope I don’t get a write up and sent to the principal’s office!

Sounds like she’s blaming me? Sorry YOU didn’t receive the text. Excuse me? You didn’t add me to the list of recipients. How is it my fault.

Lasted 30 days until they terminated the position due to a “cart before the horse” situation. Basically what happened is I called out all the illegal marketing practices happening and offered solutions to fix them. They got rid of the problem, which was “me.” Now they want my password.

So what's their plan? Try to make other drivers work for almost a month straight to pick up the slack. Needless to say, it hasn't gone over well. Now the boss and production manager get to drive a couple nights a week as well as work the day shift.

#56 Boss Forcing Me To Work With A Positive Covid Test In A Food Service Environment
This absolutely sucks because I really did like this job and I didn’t have any issues with the managers till now. I live in Indiana and tested covid positive on Christmas eve, and even told them I wouldn’t be available for my shift Thursday due to it. I work as a bartender for Chuy’s. I’m not for sure the legality of this but the fact they are treating me this way in the first place is upsetting and honestly has me fuming. I never call off, I do my job well, and Im kind and reliable. I’m genuinely considering quitting and I don’t plan on coming in either way. Mainly looking for advice or just some solidarity.

#57 AIO? Married Ex-Boss Reached Out With An ‘Offer’ So I Told His Wife And Reported Him To The Labor Department

My ex-boss, who’s married and has a kid, reached out to me about a month ago (after 5+ months of me quitting) with the offer you see in his messages.
I read this, sent his wife the texts, and reported him to the labor department. Just got scheduled for an interview with the department to discuss next steps—AIO about all of this?
Additional context: He’s the founder, manages the HR himself, and was also my direct report. And no, I haven’t found a job yet after this!

#58 Went To The ER Last Night - Managers Couldn't Care Less
I was at the er last night after a long couple days of throwing up non-stop and being unable to hold down any food whatsoever.
Symptoms started at my job - I threw up several times on floor and they refuses to send me home, claiming they just had no one to replace me, and that I didnt look ill.
When I went to the er last night, i was severely dehydrated from all of the throwing up I've done. Not only that, I needed to be prescribed medication to control my vomiting, and was given extra strong painkillers to counteract the pain my body has been feeling for days now.
I texted my boss last night at 3 am - when I got home - knowing that I wouldn't be able to make it into work. Not my word, literally my doctor didn't want me to. Wanted me to go to a follow up today, rest, and over-hydrate myself until I start feeling better - because I can't hold down solids.
Apparently they couldn't care. Apparently, my health isn't an important asset to them - and they care more about me being on the floor than the fact I can't even make it across my living room without shooting pains and feeling like I'm going to lose my lunch.

#60 My Boss Decided To Take 10% Of All Card Tips And Give It To Our Manager
For context, I work at 2 different food truck businesses (called 1 and 2 in the photos). T is my boss and L is our new manager, J is our old manager.
My other coworker and I just found out that our boss takes 10% of all card tips and gives them to our manager EVEN WHEN THEY AREN’T clocked in and apparently has been doing so at least since I’ve been here the last 4 years. I feel justified in saying all of this as I am their longest lasting employee, and am only not working more due to school.
My coworker and I worked pretty much an all day event on the 15th. We were clocked in to food truck 2. Our manager L was also clocked in to food truck 2 but working on food truck 1 (separate business) training a new employee
Well, on our square reader on the truck it showed us making about $75 just in tips. Come to find out, we noticed that the both of ours combined only added up to about $50. To which we realized L was also clocked in to food truck 2 with us and not even working the same job or even the same truck as us. Therefore, stealing our tips whether it be intentional or not. L said she messaged our boss but my coworker and I had our doubts so I messaged our boss anyways. Hence, the pictures. My coworker and I were acting all nice in the pictures, but man.. we were talking with a couple other employees and we all think it’s not fair.

#63 My Boss Is Upset I’m Not Grateful For A 3 Cent Raise
It’s been a grueling year at work and over the last few months our boss has been heavily hinting that we’ll finally be getting some raises so when I had my performance review and HR was smiling as they slid me a piece of paper that said my raise was just 3 cents I literally couldn’t hold it in. I was so upset I literally had to leave because I was starting to tear up and I cried when I left. I thought my hard work was finally going to pay off. Im tired of being broke all the time, I thought finally I was going to get a good raise or a bonus so I could finally treat myself for once and go out to dinner or the movies or something but nope I can’t have anything good in life.

#72 Got My Boss To Admit To Wage Theft
I work for a very well-known corporation as a server/bartender. My shift usually starts at 4:00 pm.
The time clock rounds my hours to 15-minute intervals. If I clock in at 4:01, I don't start getting paid until 4:15. If I clock in at 3:50 and start working immediately as expected, I don't get paid for those first 10 minutes. I know if I clock out at 10:40 it doesn't round to 10:45. It gets rounded down to 10:30. My general manager confirmed that over text. This means I lose up to 28 minutes in my wages every shift.
I know this is wage theft. They did not notify me that they changed the time clocks. When I was first employed, I was paid from when I clocked in to when I clocked out. I wasn’t aware that it was rounding down my hours for a few months. I believe that I'm owed a couple of hundreds of dollars in unpaid wages. I'm planning to send these screen shots to the labour board but I'm not very hopeful anything will happen.
TLDR: my employer is rounding down my hours so he can pay me less.

#74 Fired For “Behavior”
A few days ago, my supervisor informed me that I would have to take on the responsibilities of two people, and I refused. I also expressed how I felt about it. I was the only one in the company who spoke up and said what I thought. As a manager, I even encouraged my team to stand up for themselves if they felt like they were being mistreated in any way, I guess they realized I wasn't someone who would just stay quiet, do my job, and accept any nonsense they threw at me. So, they fired me without warning via text.

Today neither of the two managers on duty tried to contact me so I assumed that I wasn’t needed and didn’t go into work. (On previous occasions I have done this and it wasn’t a problem) now they need me and I’m not available, this is a reasonable thing for me to be upset with, no?

#77 Forced To Work 9 Hour Shift In Smoke Filled Production Hall With High Co2 Levels
Fed up with work conditions, employed at a large meat manufacturing/packing plant, and due to improper ventilation/exhaust of industrial ovens, production areas filled with smoke, along with elevated CO2 levels. Every shift has safety managers, but they signed off on allowing production to continue across two shifts. Smoke made everyone's eyes constantly water, was almost impossible to breathe after a full shift, and those that did go home sick were still penalized with attendance points. No care for employees or their safety and well being, managment only worried about numbers and making company owners more money. HR response is if safety says it's fine then it's fine. Would have quit on the spot if I didn't have a family and mortgage to provide for.

#78 Great Response Boss
So background, I work maintenance for a couple of big private schools, my manager is 70 and can't do shhhiiiiit, I'm full time, we hired another guy to work three days Nd he immediately cut down to one day, that guy only does projects, no general maintenance, so we hired another casual too, that was two weeks ago and he has called in sick everyday. So I basically by myself hold it together, I rolled my ankle today at work and can't walk without a nasty limp, instead of acknowledging how valuable I am, I get treated like a pest for being injured.

#79 I Quit A Terrible Job And My Manager Sent This Out To The Entire Office (More Context In Post, If Needed!)
I accepted a full time job at this small business but a few red flags started cropping up (I’m in the UK for some context). The company culture was really bad and most of the team had worked there a very long time and were very hostile towards new joiners (lots of snarky emails and 50-60 year old men gossiping behind your back). The company director was rude and condescending to me everytime I spoke to him (and I tried really hard, maybe too hard, to be nice lol).
One of the things I found so strange was that they refuse to give you a contract. ever. I asked about this further and they said “your offer can be considered your contract, I guess.” - staff who had worked there 20+ years had no contracts.
So yeah I worked with them for 6 weeks before handing my notice in and this was sent out to the office. I don’t know who the f Ian is and I don’t have any job interviews/offers “in the city” (nor do I want to work there!).
I actually left to be unemployed while I start looking for a new job because the place was that bad…
The manager who sent this out has viewed my LinkedIn page every day since I left (2+ weeks ago now…)

#80 Hr Lady Asked Me To Pay £650 For Training And Became Very Rude When Told I Can't Afford It
For context: The lady sent me a job offer at 8pm (ish) on a Thursday. Me not expecting people to be actively looking for roles at that time, sent her a quick reply hoping we could have a call instead. I was very excited to have recived the job offer so I just wizzed through the lengthy starting email (my mistake).
The job offer asked for £500+£150(?) for training and I asked if that money can be taken out from my wages when I start working instead as I only get paid £500 a biweekly from benefits.
The lady got really rude to me after I told her I cannot pay that much as I don't have that money anywhere. That's the comment she made about people on benefits.
I hate being on benefits and am trying my hardest to get permanently off it. Who asks for £650 training that the job should provide?

Today I received this text, hands down the least professional exchange I’ve ever had with an employer.

#87 Aio To My Manager Telling Me I Have To Stay Open Till 2 Am?
so I work at a bar inside a hotel. I am a full time student so I only work part time, which for me is tuesday and thursday nights. this week, I agreed to come in on monday as well because there was a big event in town and we were sold out. I thought it would be worth it to skip two of my classes because it was supposed to be a big money night. turns out, that was not the case. it was me and one other bartender working, and we only did $1500 in sale and made $372 in tips, which we have to split. two hours into the shift, one of my managers came up to my coworker and told her we have to stay open till 2 am. that is absolutely ridiculous. we are only open till 11 pm every other day. both of us left at 11:30 when everything was closed up. my two managers started spam calling and texting us asking why we closed. I attached the text I sent her below. I want to quit. am I overreacting?

I work for a wine retailer in NY and alcohol consumption is down overall and not looking to bounce back meaning sales are DOWN. I’ve endured many hardships with this company from several back-to-back late paychecks to literal verbal a**se but I stay because the customers make me feel happy and fulfilled.
My boss now “recommends” us employees to like, share, and comment on all posts; the bosses partner will be “monitoring” these activities. In regards to the second slide, I recorded and edited recent videos for the company and tagged my personal account in those videos, in which my boss told me to never do again unless I’m in front of the camera.
At the end of the day, it’s not my company and I know where the door is. No matter how many $$$ I bring in, I sadly must look for a new job because I do not agree with how things are being operated. It’s been a great run and I learned the valuable lesson of knowing your worth.
