'Good luck finding any other work': 10+ nightmare bosses and the employees who stood up to them

Whether we like to remember them or not, we have all been in toxic work environments. Perhaps you were at the start of your professional life and you were concerned that all workplace environments and dynamics were like this. Perhaps you were working under a new boss who spent far more energy enforcing ridiculous rules and disparaging the work of their employees than fostering a strong working atmosphere. Perhaps you didn't say anything to your boss before you left the company and you desperately wish that you stood up to them. Or perhaps you did stand up to them, and it was an experience you'll never forget for either good or bad reasons. Regardless, there is some level of experience you have with a toxic boss.

Thankfully, you're not alone, and you are joining the company of these brave employees, who shared their stories of working under their nightmare bosses via this r/AskReddit thread. Some of these stories include a boss who screamed at their employee for not working after they showed up early, a boss who had their kid stalk employees to check if they were always working or not, and even a boss who forced his retired parents to work under him.

Keep scrolling below for these anecdotes, and hopefully, they will inspire you to stand up for yourself in the workplace if you haven't already. Heck, you might be working under a horrible boss as we speak.
