19 Screenshots Of Clueless Bosses Who Clearly Don’t Understand The Meaning Of Work/Life Balance

    If these bosses really think "weekends are for the weak," then call me a wimp.

    Sometimes, bosses expect their employees, who get paid considerably less than them, to care about the company the same amount they do. So much so, that bosses and CEOs often want their workers to put in 150% every single day and make work their number-one priority, even above family and health.

    Here are 19 such bosses who desperately need a wake-up call that makes them realize there are more important things than a job:
