The Tyrant

This boss is a ruler who exercises power in a harsh, cruel manner. She (he) does not care about her (his) staff. Her (his) main goal is to get the job done. If the staff has to stay late and work in unreasonable conditions that is not an issue. The Tyrant's mantra is "the staff should be lucky that I don't fire them".

Her (his) staff hates most of these types of bosses, but the Tyrant has no idea why that is. It can happen that staff leaves in droves due to this boss and the staff makes it known that is because of the boss' attitude. Even if this happens the boss is usually in denial and blames other reasons not her (his) attitude.
