Pointy-Haired Boss: Difference between revisions

* The Magic School's Headmaster in ''[[Furmentation]]''.

* Lord Stanley the Tool from ''[[Erfworld]]''. He is not only is a [[Pointy-Haired Boss]], he's a ''[[Bad Boss]]'' who threatens to kill Parson for simply noting that Stanley is [[The Napoleon|short]], and an [[Evil Overlord]]. And to top it all off? He believes that he is ''holy'', and on a [[Mission From God]] (though in his defense, there's a good chance that he ''is''). However, this may fall under the "promoted beyond his capabilities" aspect of the trope, as he's a pretty savvy tactician and capable warrior.

* Mike in ''[[Between Failures]]'' is self-aware and trying not to be one of these, but his management training was inadequate to prepare him for the job, and those in charge of him have fobbed him off on one of the least important branch stores rather than trying to help him.

* George Fennec of ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'' is owner of Hare-Link, but only got that position because his daughter, the former owner, wanted to avoid a potential conflict of interest situation when her mother wanted her to promote her new stepfather. He makes hardly any useful decisions for the business except for once filling in for Kevin as a representative for a deal with Carrot Computers, and tends to be quite distracting. When he passes out after it dawns on him that his pregnant rabbit wife will likely have a litter of babies rather than just one<ref> It really is just one, though</ref>, Kevin notes that they can finally get some work done.
