The picture of Katharine Parker seems to be missing from the list.

At the risk of offending the celebrities who have portrayed these misogynistic C.E.O.'s, many of whom I have the greatest respect and admiration towards these stars for their artistic talents, I must nevertheless state with all honesty that my Least favorite boss that I wouldn't want to work for would be, without any reservation or hesitation: No. 14, Franklin Hart, or F. Hart, as he is sometimes referred to in the movie "Nine To Five".  Although this character was portrayed elegantly and artistically by Dabney Coleman, Franklin Hart was, nevertheless, described in the movie as, and I quote, a "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot", and speaking as a person of the male and of the Caucasian species, that is the kind of human being that I do not care for, and would not want to work for even if I were desperate, and that is the God-honest truth, so help me.

You have a typo in entry #5. Pattrick should be Patrick.

I like this poll a lot. Al Pacino's character in The Devil's Advocate would probably get my vote. 

FYC:
Jim Young (Ben Affleck) in Boiler Room
John Tuld (Jeremy Irons) in Margin Call
Jared Cohen (Simon Baker) in Margin Call
