The Pointy-Haired Boss in Dilbert is the epitome of middle management idiocy. He doesn't understand his employees, doesn't know what they do exactly, and lives and orders around with sweeping statements.

The uselessness of management is one of the major themes of Dilbert, and to celebrate National Boss Day, Scott Adams searched the archives to chose his 10 favorite Pointy-Haired Boss strips. Check it out below.

Adams is also the author of a new book “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.”
