#badboss

Bad bosses are like magicians—except instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, they make your requests, raises, and vacation days disappear. Ask for a well-deserved promotion? Poof!—budget cuts. Need a day off for a family emergency? Abracadabra!—"We really need all hands on deck." Catch them in an obvious mistake? Ta-da!—"That's actually how I meant to do it." And the best trick of all? Convincing themselves they're the best boss ever, while you're Googling "how to fake my own disappearance and start a new life."
