All Purpose Asshole

As noted above, we have created 5 specific boss types. The All Purpose Asshole has been created as a catchall for all of those situations that do not fall neatly into any of the above categories.

Some of the boss behaviours that fall into this category are:

Delegating all of his (her) work, but taking all of the credit for the accomplishments,
Acting pessimistic about everything - nothing that anyone does will ever work, everyone is doomed to failure
Having annoying habits such as snapping his (her) fingers when he (she) wants something
Obsessive compulsiveness
