It’s Bosses Day!!

Bosses Day is a day set out to celebrate bosses and appreciate those phenomenal bosses that you can bend over backwards till your back breaks.

While some use this day to rant over those horrible bosses that they secretly wish will be transferred or miraculously wouldn’t have to work with when they go to the office the next morning.

While some bosses are kind and humane and make the office conducive and pleasant others are insulting and abusive, requiring their subordinates to sometimes carry out difficult tasks just to laud their power over them.

Here are some films about horrible bosses that we love to hate.

Swimming with Sharks

In this film, Buddy Ackerman [Kevin Spacey] is a successful film mogul who employs and treats his assistance [Guy] like a slave. He is verbally abusive without regard for his feelings. He finally fires his assistance through the phone and this triggers the assistance into kidnapping him, torturing him and drawing revenge on his boss.

The Devil Wears Prada

In this film, Miranda Presley [Meryl Streep] is a powerful fashion Magazine editor who employes Andy [Anne Hathaway] and ridicules everything she does including her dressing. She makes her perform impossible tasks with threats that she will fire her if she doesn’t perform the task performed.

Despite the humiliation, Andy maintains her loyalty.

Michael Corleone [Al Pacino] is the unlikely successor to the Corleone Mafia Dynasty who is so unassuming yet deadly. He is a boss that expects your loyalty because betrayal or lapse in your duties will get you killed.

Does anyone of these bosses remind you of someone?
