Putting the wrong person in charge can change a job from a fulfilling occupation to a tedious nightmare. 

It doesn’t take much to make a boss horrible, but the ones in these stories from variousthreads on r/AskReddit really go above and beyond. They run the gamut from malicious manipulators to just plain dumb. 

If you’re sitting at your desk right now, procrastinating like I know we all are, consider these stories a pick-me-up. 

Things could be a whole lot worse.
