With reference to an article I found on the internet (http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/smallbusiness/1110/gallery.bosses/index.html) plus a few options of my own:
Bad bosses are everywhere -- in big companies and small.
Half of all workers have experienced an "unreasonable manager" at some time in their career, according to a survey for OfficeTeam, a staffing company.
One-quarter of workers in a Developmental Dimensions survey say their boss is a know-it-all and another quarter work for a micromanager. No wonder one-third of workers say they spend about five hours a week lamenting their boss.
So what do you give a horrible boss for Bosses Day? Well, the employees in the summer flick "Horrible Bosses" hire a hit man. For gifts that have less dire consequences take a look at the following:1. A demotivator calendar from Despair Inc.
2. Whip and Bandage: Workaholic bosses can be the worst. They expect you in at 5 a.m., are texting you at 6 a.m. and are wondering why you are leaving "early" after a 12-hour day. For that manager who drives everyone way too hard, head to a toy or dollar store and pick up a toy whip and a box of bandages.
3. A song telling him/her to what you really think and performed by fully dressed old people.
4. A management course. The American Management Association offers a variety of management courses, including "Servant Leadership," "Management Skills for New Managers" or "Improving Your Managerial Effectiveness." Even better, sign your boss up for one called "Win. How to Engage and Energize Your Employees."
5. The best gift for them? An oversized piggy bank labeled "workers retirement fund" or "college fund for crew's kids." That will send a clear message that you're underpaid, said Karen Nussbaum, executive director of Working America, an AFL-CIO affiliate that runs an annual bad bosses' competition.
6. A bottle of wine, or whiskey, so that he/she has to be nice to you for one day.
7. Give yourself a gift: Take the day off so you don't have to deal with the toxic boss on Boss's Day
8. For a horrid boss, give him/she a Dildo (preferably huge and black) and find out how it is being screwed to death.
9. A packet of heavy duty tranquilisers. Or possibly a nice pretty packaged pack of Ecstacy, Mandrax, weed or even a nice hallucinogenic mushroom or two. At least it will keep out of your way for a day.
10. A pack of suppositories or laxative laced chocolate, to blow the shit out of them.
Moral of the story is "Be careful who you crap on the way up, you might need them to catch you on the way down."
Of course my best would be to tell him to take a hike and shove his money up his butt, or alternatively buy his company and have the pleasure of beating his price down to rock bottom. A hostile takeover, of course, would be wonderful, then one can have the distinct pleasure of telling him his mistakes to his face and making him squirm when told that because of his treatment of you in the past you, as company chairman have decide to take his salary for compensation.
