Cameras in the modern world are a wondrous thing. No matter the context of what you're trying to capture, doing so is readily available and leaves you wondering how we really miss anything at all. This could be someone performing a juvenile but distracting rendition of something they saw on YouTube or, in this case, your boss being a jerk to varying degrees. Here's 30 (quite possibly) close to home examples.
[post_page_title]#1 'So My Boss Calls Me To A Meeting On My Day Off, Then Asks Me To Arrange The Meeting Room'[/post_page_title]
This hits very close to home for this wordsmith. Until recently, every single manager's meeting I was "asked" to attend was on a day where I was unsurprisingly not scheduled. You're sat there, maybe dressed, maybe not, eating, playing a game - it matters not, it happens and it does matter. To you. So you get your own back in any way you can...

[post_page_title]#2 'After Receiving A $50 Gift Card For Walmart As A Christmas Gift From My Boss, I Was Happy Until I Saw That It Had Been Deducted From My Paycheck'[/post_page_title]
Reddit user JDMRexTI was probably feeling thankful this near to the festive season with a few extra gold coins but her Boss had their back covered, their back and their profit and loss margin. When it comes to expenses and apparent generosity from companies, stay vigilant.

[post_page_title]#3 'Artists At My Local Tattoo Shop Left This For Their Boss After Finding A Motion Detector That Records Video In The Unisex BR'[/post_page_title]
The Tattoo shop that ProfessorPancakes and their fellow skin-scribblers worked at very much went one step beyond a safe and secure monitored premises and chose to quite pervertedly record their little microcosm of humanity during their private time in the shared bathroom. Not cool Hefe, not cool at all.

[post_page_title]#4 'My Boss Said "No" Too Many Times. He Forced My Hand. I Quit! Now While He's Miserable. My Feet Are In The Sand. F Him'[/post_page_title]
Reddit user ObservationOrSpeculation, in the spirit of the Rage Against The Machine cover I may now go and write, encourages you to do one thing in her image - "you gotta take the hours back". F him indeed in another workplace victory over microcosmic Totalitarian overlords.

[post_page_title]#5 'My Coworker Went All Wet Seal On Our Boss Today'[/post_page_title]
Having a few tipples too many doesn't always go well and it's something you're entering precarious territory doing. This boss didn't want to work the opening shift so let this drunk-skunk off a serious offense. JordanAsshole wouldn't put up with it and left this brilliant note. JordanAsshole you and your friend come and find me, I'll hire you.

[post_page_title]#6 'So I Bring A Pecan Pie To Work. By Noon It Was Missing. Found It A Few Hours Later In My Boss's Office'[/post_page_title]
The one thing employees since time immemorial yearn for slap-bag in the middle of their shift is the time when they can procure delicious comestibles. Bosses have some established prerogatives within context, and this sadly was very important in the disappearance of Ciclismo4185's Pecan Pie. I hope you shoved something else down his pie-hole!

[post_page_title] #7 'Secret Recording Device Under Break Room Table At Work' [/post_page_title]
These control-freaks were assuming and betting that Egomzez and Co. felt this very idealized comfort and trust in their lunch-hour. Alas, they were mistaken and their bubble was burst. Nothing is as it seems. In truth, if these head-honchos were that worried, then that's pretty indicative of their own ineptitude as higher-ups, is it not?

[post_page_title] #8 'One Of A Seemingly Endless Series Of Unreasonable Notes Left By My Boss. It’s Great Here' [/post_page_title]
Do I really need to comment too overtly on this attitude of this Boss? Fun notes are fun, these types of notes are funnier. I wish you many more entertaining literature to lessen the Jerk-force-trauma Rich-P. At least we know who is - in charge. I'm here all week.

[post_page_title] #9 'Our Boss Doesn't Let Us Take Any Home!' [/post_page_title]
Close to home? Remember that trigger-warning? This Boss I can with the utmost certainty has and will trigger a great many with this Jerk-action. *Note, regrettably this is not the tasty Jerk of the Carribean*. Leftovers in the service industry often feed the hungry bellies of the staff working at impossibly calculated speeds to serve the most difficult of humans or even those less fortunate.

[post_page_title] #10 'This Structural Pole My Boss Refuses To Fix'[/post_page_title]
And we're back! Profit and loss margins and laziness are back on pole for number ten, supplemented and propped up (badly) by this tasty and top-heavy looking support column. Priorities are usually more related to fiscal capability than the safety and I'm sure the builders, surveyors, and architects among us are now questioning their own structural integrity.

[post_page_title] #11 When Your Good Service Rewards Only Your Boss [/post_page_title]
Service industry passers-by all the way to those in the profession for the long-game. There is a trigger-warning for you here, one that I have already more than succumb to. Why would you bother leaving anything? What an incentive to make people want to work for you, eh?

[post_page_title] #12 'Shift Manager At My Work Was Just Diagnosed With Colon Cancer, Our Store Manager Put This Sign Out A Week Later' [/post_page_title]
Despite progress in the way in which bosses treat their underlings, severe lack of regard for emotions, etiquette, circumstances culminated in a sheer impenetrable wall of apathy is what many of those working under the big-ones will often experience. The following image may well prompt you to wrap up in that fleece your mom got you three Christmasses ago that you NEVER wear.

[post_page_title] #13 'Boss Didn't Like The Color Of The Chairs In The Break Room. So Now We Just Don't Have Chairs' [/post_page_title]
Aesthetic is always something crucial to a working environment, your customers and or staff need to feel at home and at comfort in their surroundings and within that, we have an example of an object that in quantity, can provide the utmost assisted comfort. Chairs.

[post_page_title] #14 'My Boss Installed An IP Camera At The Store To Spy On Us When He's Away. I Retaliated With This Rig' [/post_page_title]
Surveillance has been a key theme thus far, so has distrustful, hypochondriac bosses lording over their kingdoms, hell-bent on stamping out any words of dissent. Or something like that. Can a picture paint a thousand words? Yes, yes it can and this boss found out the hard way.

[post_page_title] #15 'My Boss Was Deathly Serious When He Posted This. Looks Like I'm Spending Some Quality Time At Work This Year' [/post_page_title]
This is another image that speaks for itself. This boss clearly has no respect for the lives of their employees likely down to the fact that their Jobsworth tunnel-vision doesn't even allow them a life. Fly, EyeOfOwl fly.

There are momentary lapses where professionalism often gets carried away in a maelstrom of swearing or whatever is deemed unprofessional wherever you may be but you know it's bad when you are presented with such a message AFTER you've declared yourself DONE.

[post_page_title] #17 'This Is The Drinking Water Filter At My Work. It's Been Getting Darker By The Day But My Boss Insists It's Doing Its Job Still' [/post_page_title]
Now this one, if you've been paying attention between either laughing or relating a little too much, is eerily similar to one of the prior moronic examples of jerk bosses. Did you guess correctly? Is this the same boss from #10? For their sake, I hope it isn't. For not only is their already someone on the hunt for their hide but the second now also in tow is a velociraptor and I've seen Jurassic Park.

Reddit user BrokenDice16 is clearly not valued and neither is their time. Above the sense of inflated self-importance of her boss that is. Rachel's boss at Bloomingdale's maybe? Am I losing some of the younger crowd now? Getting old is rubbish. I'll shut up now. BrokenDice16 you'll have to squint a little when caricaturing your overload for now.

I won't even parody this one because A) what would be the point? and B) This boss's proof of Jerkdom applicability is not one to be taken lightly.

I feel such a connection to col3s1aw as I write these words. Jury-rigging in the workplace is usually never short of chuckle-prompting but this boss has taken being a jerk to precarious and hilarious (after the initial what the *rude word* moment) to a new unprecedented level of stupid.

Maybe this boss has been watching far too much Fast and Furious, Death Race and Talledega Knights between shifts. This isn't really the place to indulge in drag racing fantasies when a life is in your hands Capo, come on now.

[post_page_title] #22 'The Way My Boss Asked Me To Order Her More Pens Like This One. I'm Sure She's Just Bluffing.......' [/post_page_title]
I'll be honest, as a localized individual act, this one isn't too bad. It's almost endearing if you happen to be a good mood but if you examing deeper, further into the depths of yet another work-based microcosm then it's almost cataclysmic to your person irritants and triggers. If you delve that is, which we are and by delve, I mean scroll to see the whole message in its passive to blatant aggression.

It's nice to feel appreciated during the Christmas period but sadly, the boss of one apocalypse31 and quote possibly all their own "superiors" clearly feel that coveting wealth is far more in their interests than those on the line earning the gold coins. I hope you had a good Christmas apocalypse31 and proceeded to leave coal throughout your bosses' office.

Reddit user Why_Joo_So_Cheap snapped this wonderfully indicative photo show a company, not one for treating their employees well at all even down to basic hydration. The boss or bosses responsible for this note may well need some other liquids added to their water supply. Let your imaginations wander.

Now as much as it's been an unspoken obvious theme on this list of surprisingly commonly seen insanity, the word "illegal" gets thrown around a lot these days and I feel it is now that I must use it. This boss is clearly very cold-blooded via more than one definition.

Do you find the attitude of your boss is a little, presumptuous and inflated as a result of their elevated station, even if sometimes said elevation away from the "plebs" is actually somewhat minuscule? Well...

I cannot begin to explain what is so unambiguously, unequivocally obtuse about the action of the next boss in our long-line of interesting behavior and jerk-arsery. In all truth, this is utterly appalling and perhaps the worst example of how power can produce real abhorrent and repugnant behavior in today's working society.

Most bosses will try to one-up someone (usually me, you and likely young Steve over there) whenever they feel the need to exercise their absolutism over their allotted ward and this next example is well-seasoned for that very purpose.
