The boss. Everyone has one and all of every boss's worst traits are embodied in The Boss in Dilbert.

In I Sense a Coldness in Your Mentoring, the on-going torture that The Boss wreaks on his helpless underlings is played out in full. From a total lack of mentoring skills to clueless budget requests and pointless mind-numbing endless meetings, The Boss makes office life for Dilbert, Wally, and Alice, not to mention his secretary, a living hell with cubicle walls.
