Contested prod. Promotional article for a HR startup that's seeking publicity by producing a list of the worst bosses in the world. Nice idea, if a bit grandiose, but the first list was only in December 2009 and the world is not leaping up and down with excitement. It seems to have lots of ghits but when you take away twitter, facebook, blogs and all the rest there are very few that are relevant (see here).

Thanks for your input, but the mainstream media (e.g. reliable sources) seems to have been leaping up and down with excitement about this newsworthy item, despite the fact that the 2009 list was the organization's first. This is probably due to the fact that this list made history by being the first list ever to actually name the "worst bosses" in a serious and professional manner.
The following is a list of reliable sources ("mainstream news organizations") that have covered and featured The Worst Bosses List and that relate directly to the subject of the article:
