17 Infuriatingly Ridiculous Work Emails Bosses Had The Audacity To Send Their Employees

A regular run-of-the-mill nightmare boss might keep their nonsense behind closed doors…

But a FULL-FLEDGED MENACE of a boss? They’ll immortalize their worst behavior in an email—SENT TO THE ENTIRE STAFF. If they’re bold enough to type it out, hit send, and leave a paper trail, we’re going to showcase it:

1. The heartless boss who somehow thought this wild email was appropriate to send mere moments after a cherished coworker died:

boss letting everyone know a coworker has passed and they may clock out to grieve in the break room but not discuss it at all

2. The boss who — after gutting 60% of the team and forcing this employee into 14-hour days — had the nerve to send this email:

sub buzz 5820 1689357046 3

3. And the boss who boldly informed employees via email that they’d need to pay to get into the company picnic this year:

tickets for the event are almost $30 plus employees would have to pay for their own meal

4. This boss who actually questioned employees’ dedication…all because of how they took their lunch breaks:

boss asking people to take their lunches at their desk when the ceo visits

5. The boss who sent this unhinged email that basically suggested anyone without kids shouldn’t complain about anything at work:

boss upset that people put in their notices without thinking of their coworkers who are parents and now the handbook will be changed to make it mandatory to give 3 months notice

6. The boss who decided that asking for a sick day was somehow a personal offense and sent this message:

boss asking what the sick time is being taken for

7. And the boss who told employees that if they call out sick, they might as well start looking for a new job:

manager going off about calling out of work and saying they've never done that and even showed up to work after a car accident so they expect the same for their employees

8. The boss who suddenly decided that the approved vacation didn’t count and told the employee to cancel it:

boss saying that they and another coworker have surgeries scheduled so now the vacation that was asked for needs to be cancelled or moved

9. The boss who thought this was the appropriate message to send right after an employee found out her long-term boyfriend was cheating on her:

boss saying that the employee being said is oppressive and they need to leave their personal life at home but return to work

10. And the ex-boss who came crawling back, aggressively asking for a code the employee had already provided — and wanted it “by tomorrow”:

could you send all code you wrote either as a repo or zip by tomorrow

11. The boss who fired someone for missing work to attend a coworker’s funeral, then sent this tone-deaf email to the entire company (including the person they just fired):

boss saying the workers had bad attitude and that people have to make sacrifices in order to keep the privilege of working there, adding that extra pay isn't available for anyone that can cover shifts but maybe they'll get a pay raise next year

12. The boss who sent this email after an employee simply asked for a day off to attend his girlfriend’s father’s funeral:

we just can't take time off when employees feel like it, the company has bereavement but not for girlfriend

13. The boss who scolded and insulted an employee…only to follow it up by requesting help like nothing happened:

comining in sick does not give you the right to slack off... also can you give a person a ride to work tomorrow

14. And the boss who got genuinely upset just because an employee said they needed to leave when their shift ended:

i thought you would stay an hour after your shift, i'm in need of a team player

15. The boss who decided to drop this last-minute email that pretty much amounted to a giant FU to everyone working nights — and weekends:

email sent at 11:33am for a mandatory meeting at 2:15pm the same day

16. The boss who — a full month after this employee left — suddenly demanded they pay back a so-called “overpayment”:

boss asking for a check of $137.08 for supposed overpayment

17. And lastly, Elon Musk’s email to employees after taking over Twitter:

starting tomorrow everyone is required to be in office for a minimum of 40 hours a week and remote work is no longer allowed
