The Criticizer
This boss doesn't like any ideas. He (she) only likes his (her) own. If you have a creative approach or a different way of doing something or a new suggestion, the criticizer will knock you down. He (she) has never heard an idea he (she) likes that wasn't his (her) own.
His (her) mission is to disagree with anything that is said. He (she) likes to be right, no matter what. The Criticizer will never give you positive feedback but will always jump on your mistake. His (her) favourite saying is "Bad idea."

No news is good news
