The 9 Types of Bosses You'll Encounter in Life

This unstoppable trooper keeps going and going and going, working late every night and getting in early the next day. Known to send work-related e-mails on weekends at 3 a.m. (marked URGENT), and always arriving at the office despite the snowstorm/transit strike/earthquake/appendix operation -- whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve.

aka: The Terminator, Old Faithful, Ms. No-Life

How to handle: You can't compete. Just keep a positive attitude and don't feel obligated to work late nights, weekends, or holidays without overtime.
