11 of the Worst Bosses Ever

You think your boss is bad? Read the #WorstBossIn5Words Twitter hashtag that took place last week and see if you still think you have it bad.

If you haven't watched Comedy Central's @midnight TV show, you should start. It's hysterical and one of the most popular segments is called #HashtagWars, during which the show puts out a topic and pores over the replies that come in in real time. Last week, the topic was #WorstBossIn5Words, and -- as the name implies -- asked readers to use a five words to describe the worst boss they can imagine. The results were equal parts hilarious, frightening, and in some cases mind-boggling.

Since we're all about work, employees, and bosses, we combed through the tweets and picked some of the funniest, most frightening, and cringe-worthy of the bunch for your entertainment. So enjoy.

Hey, you didn't have plans right? Not that it matters to the boss who frequently tells you on Friday afternoon he'll need you to come in on Saturday morning.

If you work for this boss, your career is in the crapper. Your job is circling the drain. Insert additional feces joke here.

Go flush that for me #WorstBossIn5Words

Well, the silver lining is you'll probably never have to work on Sundays.

Shoulder rubs when walking by... #WorstBossin5Words (This was more like the creepiest boss I had. *shiver*)

While this is science fiction, a lot of bosses do seem to harness Vader. They just choke the life out of you much more gradually over the course of years.
