Line 2: {{quote\|'''Cam:''' I've ... really enjoyed working for you, Dr. Brennan. '''Brennan:''' In fact, Dr. Saroyan, I worked for you. '''Cam:''' We both know better. ~~\|''[[Bones]]'' }}~~ \|''[[Bones]]'' }} Maybe he is hopelessly incompetent. Maybe he was set up as a leader in early episodes, but [[Characterization Marches On]]. Maybe he's an [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] that presides over a band of [[Bunny Ears Lawyer\|Bunny Ears Lawyers]] who've long ago seized control. Maybe his second in command is [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]], and has been pulling the strings for years. Regardless of the reason, this trope is about bosses who just don't act like ''bosses.'' Line 44 ⟶ 45: '''C.J.:''' So far up your ass! }} * Han from ''[[Two Broke Girls]]'', who gets no respect from any of his employees. They also get away with ''a lot'', including being rude to nasty customers--which is entertaining and funny, but likely to get you fired under a good boss. * Col. Henry Blake from ''[[~~MASH~~MASH (television)\|MASH]]'' was supposed to be in charge of the 4077th but outside of the Operating Room most of his time was spent boozing, recreating, or philandering. His [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]] was well understood to be the person actually running the camp. Also the dueling doctor factions who were supposed to be Henrys subordinates were frequently overstepping or walking all over him in order to carry out their zany schemes. Blakes replacement, Col. Potter, was able to command a lot more respect and thus appear more in charge. * ''[[House (TV series)\|House]]'': Type 3. Even though Cuddy is the one in charge, House tends to walk all over her to get what he wants. She is still an incredibly competent boss, however, and is usually able to stop him from going too far. * The chain store the main cast of ''[[Between Failures]]'' works at goes through managers so quickly that none of them ever get the chance to be real bosses, letting Thomas effectively run the whole store the way he wants to.
