For some comic relief Fast Company has a slideshow of nine fictional bosses you should be glad you don't work for.
Gordon Gekko -- Wall Street
C. Montgomery Burns -- The Simpsons
Tony Soprano --- The Sopranos
Ebenezer Scrooge -- A Christmas Carol
Darth Vader -- Star Wars
David Brent -- The Office
Dr. Evil -- Austin Powers
Cosmo S. Spacley -- The Jetsons
J. Peterman -- Seinfeld
These would be tough characters to work for. Except maybe Peterman. There is probably a worse fictional boss out there than him. How about the two bosses in Trading Places -- they wouldn't be much fun to work for. Or what about the bosses from The Firm?
