Spacey Horrible Bosses Career Advice From Movie Bosses

DAVE HARKEN | HORRIBLE BOSSES (2011)

The story: The title says it all. Harken screws over his own employee in order to reward himself for his employee’s hard work.

Rangel says: “At the beginning of the movie, Spacey basically promotes himself to Jason Bateman’s position, saying he’s the only one he can trust to get the job done. On one hand, there’s something to be said for wanting something done right, and doing it yourself. On the other hand, you have to learn to trust your team. As the boss, you are too busy to do things all the time, so it’s essential to surround yourself with people you can count on. And if you’re one of those trusted people, you better step up your game, because the blame will ultimately roll downhill.”
