5 "Office Space" (1999)

Starring: Ron Livingston as Peter Gibbons, Gary Cole as Bill Lumbergh, Jennifer Aniston as Joanna, Stephen Root as Milton Waddams
Why He's Horrible: Bill Lumbergh is the classic soul-sucking, passive-aggressive boss we all fear. Lumbergh embodies everything wrong with corporate culture with his monotone voice and constant micromanagement. From forcing his employees to work weekends to his infamous "Yeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday" line, he's a nightmare in a coffee-stained mug.
Scene Stealer: Watch out for his endless demands about the TPS reports!

4 "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006)

Starring: Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, Stanley Tucci as Nigel
Why She's Horrible: Miranda Priestly is the icy editor-in-chief who runs her team ragged with impossible demands. Miranda, known for her soul-crushing stare and relentless perfectionism, pushes her assistant, Andy, to the brink of exhaustion. The film brilliantly captures the toxic culture of fashion's cutthroat world, embodied in one terrifying boss who can destroy you with a single look.
Scene Stealer: Miranda's dismissal of Andy's efforts with her iconic "That's all" sends chills down your spine.

3 "Horrible Bosses" (2011)

Starring: Jason Bateman as Nick Hendricks, Charlie Day as Dale Arbus, Jason Sudeikis as Kurt Buckman, Kevin Spacey as Dave Harken, Jennifer Aniston as Dr. Julia Harris, Colin Farrell as Bobby Pollitt
Why They're Horrible: This film features not one but three nightmare bosses, each with their brand of awful. Dave Harken is a controlling psychopath, Dr. Julia Harris is a manipulative predator, and Bobby Pellitt is a drugged-out nepotist who makes life hell for his employees. Watching these three friends hatch a plan to take down their terrible bosses is a cathartic experience for anyone who's ever suffered in a toxic workplace.
Scene Stealer: Dave Harken's meltdown over an employee getting promoted is an unforgettable mix of rage and insanity.

2 "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013)

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort, Jonah Hill as Donnie Azoff, Margot Robbie as Naomi Lapaglia, Matthew McConaughey as Mark Hanna
Why He's Horrible: Jordan Belfort epitomizes corporate greed and excess. As a boss, he encourages reckless behavior, breaks every ethical boundary, and manipulates his employees with promises of riches, leading them into a life of corruption and crime. His high-energy sales techniques and unrelenting ambition create a chaotic, toxic workplace where anything goes—as long as it makes money.
Scene Stealer: Belfort's infamous chest-thumping chant with his team is as hypnotic as disturbing.

1 "Glengarry Glen Ross" (1992)

Starring: Al Pacino as Ricky Roma, Jack Lemmon as Shelley Levene, Alec Baldwin as Blake, Ed Harris as Dave Moss, Alan Arkin as George Aaronow, Kevin Spacey as John Williamson
Why He's Horrible: Alec Baldwin's Blake doesn't get much screen time, but his presence is searing. In a blistering monologue, he delivers a brutal "motivational speech" that crushes the spirits of the real estate salesmen he's supposed to inspire. His mantra? "Always Be Closing. "Blake's callousness and relentless pressure to perform, no matter the cost, make him one of the most chilling bosses in cinematic history.
Scene Stealer: The iconic "coffee is for closers" speech is a gut punch that sets the tone for the entire film.
