'Boss threw out 7+ years of employee files... because she hated paper': 25+ Employees with completely nonsensical bosses

If you've ever had a boss that you are clearly smarter than, you know it can get pretty awkward really fast. 

We all want to think we're super smart and sophisticated, especially in the workplace. Many people try really hard to appear on top of things and in tune with exactly what's going on at their workplace from day to day. However, some bosses just don't care. It's baffling — they'll have a whole job that involves giving a darn about a workplace, and yet they'll happily sit in a back office and ignore everything. Then they rake in a six-figure salary for all their lazing about. Meanwhile, the regular employees often have a much better idea of what's going on in the workplace. But heaven forbid they try to tell the big boss how to do their job! That's how a lot of people found out just how inept their bosses really are. 

These folks below were cursed with some pretty dumb bosses. People shared stories of their bosses who were incompetent, lazy, or just straight up lacking common sense. Check out all of these hilarious stories below. 

Next up, this employee was told to stay in their lane, so they happily agreed — and ended up spending weeks without a scrap of work to do.
