Tomorrow is National Bosses Day but since it falls on a Saturday, today is probably the day to celebrate.

So if you're a boss, you should take the afternoon off -- you've earned it. If you're an employee, here's to hoping that your boss takes the rest of the day off so you can surf the web and play trashcan basketball all day. (Also, take up a collection and buy a card or one of those "World's Greatest Boss" mugs during lunch.)

Last year we listed our favorite TV bosses, a list that included '30 Rock's' Jack Donaghy, Michael Scott from 'The Office,' Montgomery Burns from 'The Simpsons,' and Dr. Lisa Cuddy from 'House.' It wasn't really a "best" list, though, since some of those bosses are really awful.

So this year, we're going to list the worst TV bosses of all time -- bosses so bad you wouldn't wish them on your enemies.

1. Montgomery Burns ('The Simpsons'). Sure, Burns gives his employees health benefits, and he seems rather flexible when it comes to hiring back Homer when he's fired. But he also the guy who has tried to kill several characters and once tried to block out the sun so he could control the town. For James Bond villain-level badness, you have to give the number one spot to Burns.

There's a reason why Hannibal Lecter auditioned to play Burns.



2. Michael Scott ('The Office'). Michael isn't evil, he's just wildly incompetent as a boss. It's interesting that he's actually really competent when it comes to the art of selling, but as the guy in charge, he is confused, maddening and immature.

It has always confused me why sensible people like Jim and Pam and the other members of the Dunder-Mifflin Scranton branch -- with the possible exception of Dwight, who is crazy -- would want to continue to work at the company. With Scott at the helm, it's a pretty awful place to work. I can't remember what these people get paid, but it can't be enough, considering all of the craziness and discomfort Scott brings to the place.



3. Arvin Sloane ('Alias'). Why would an evil mastermind who would kill his own family members to find the secret to immortality actually rank below Michael Scott? Because Arvin Sloane was sort of a hands-off type of boss. Where Scott tries to be involved in everything, micromanages and is just completely annoying, Sloane would usually stay in his office and scheme or be out of the office entirely on some international mission.

If Sloane was around more and always got involved in everyone's business, he'd be No. 2. Still, he was a pretty rotten boss. I bet he never enough brought bagels to the morning meetings.



4. Louie DePalma ('Taxi'). When you think of Sunshine Cab boss Louie DePalma, the first word that comes to your mind is "sleazy." Not only would he embarrass you and belittle you in front of your coworkers, he'd sleep with anything that moved and then brag about it. He probably had a huge collection of porn under his bed.

If Louie DePalma is still around, he's probably on the web, downloading porn.



5. Dr. Robert Romano ('ER'). This guy was such a jerk you wished a helicopter would either chop his arm off or fall on top of him and crush him to death. Maybe even both!

Here's a scene with Romano berating ... well, just about everyone. It's like a Romano greatest hits clip in one scene.



6. Wilhelmina Slater ('Ugly Betty'). While Wilhelmina showed signs of heart throughout the series, you always got the feeling that she would fire you if you looked at her wrong or didn't prepare her tea the right way or you got the wrong thread count in her sheets. Plus, there was the whole "I'll do anything to the Meade family to take control of Mode" thing.

Let's just say that everyone was ... tense around Wilhelmina.

Who do you think is a terrible TV boss?
