Is Your Boss Evil?

Memo to you: your boss classifies as The Corporate Whore (it's just a name), and falls into the Evil and Neutral category. This means he/she scored between 0% and 50% on 'goodness' and between 51% and 70% on 'competency'.

This boss type is definitely one of the more dangerous varieties. They're mean, but they're also smart enough to at least dodge most of the stupid mistakes that could get a lesser boss in hot water - for example, if they're doing something they shouldn't be doing, like coercing someone into working late, they're probably smart enough to do it covertly, so that other people don't notice. If they work in a large corporation, they're probably smart enough to suck up to the people who work above them. If they sit at the top of the chain, they're probably capable of telling a few decent lies to the people underneath them, although they're not masters at this sort of thing.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS BOSS ARCHETYPE: Corporate whores - or any evil boss with a moderate level of intelligence - won't go down easily (my boss is in fact this same type, so I very much know how you feel). Unlike, say, an evil/incompetent boss, you won't be able to sneak out of the office, hit the mains switch, and convince your boss that there's a power malfunction.

A situation like this calls for not only your smarts, but those of your coworkers. Band together and question your boss at the next meeting - he or she can still crumble if you hit him/her with enough questions. If you want to get in his or her good books, also keep in mind: this boss archetype are usually smart enough to brown-nose other people, but not smart enough to realise when other people are brown-nosing them. So long as you keep it fairly subtle, a little ass-kissing could get you far. You can also try sleeping with them (either to improve their impression of you or to later attempt some form of blackmail), but I would be wary of how you go about wooing them - sexual harassment policies are getting tighter and tighter these days, and even a seemingly innocuous comment like 'your sleeves are blue' can now be punishable with a minimum thirty years in solitary confinement at a maximum security penitentiary.
