Scary Supervisors

Though only 7% of workers report that their boss is the most scary part of their job, responses about which pop-culture Halloween character best described the boss get mixed responses from benevolent to evil to downright bumbling. The largest percentage of workers likened their bosses to a well-respected and helpful character. However, others called to mind movie monsters out for blood. The top answers:

• Glenda the Good Witch (from the Wizard of Oz), liked and respected by all - 20%
• The Wolf Man, who is fine one minute, howling the next - 11%
• The Invisible Man, never around - 10%
• Casper the Friendly Ghost, eager to help, but often misunderstood - 9%
• Dracula, constantly sucking the life right out of you - 6%
• Wicked Witch of the West (from the Wizard of Oz), always conniving and sending out minions to do his/her dirty work - 5%
• The Mummy, slow-moving with an ancient thought process - 4%
