A good boss determines the success of the company, the happiness of the employees, and the state of the supply cabinet. Fortunately, surveys find most American workers would give a positive review to their higher-ups. The Buzz minions back it up with an 113% surge in searches for "national boss day." Loyal employees wouldn't even trade their boss for someone with more glam. Still, we did check the Buzz in-box and found searchers checking out a few larger-than-life bigwigs, ranging from beleaguered to tyrannical...

Big Cheese Workplace Resume
Donald Trump "The Apprentice" The top Buzz boss has Trumped-up the New York skyline, fascinated us with his marital pursuits, and made exit interviews national entertainment.
Janice Dickinson "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" After getting fired and going through a surreal experience, the "world's first supermodel" breathed easier with her Oxygen hit.
Michael Scott "The Office" Admiring searches for Steve Carell and his keen portrayal of an incompetent blowhard put his character in the executive Buzz seat.
Gordon Ramsay "Hell's Kitchen" His exacting taste buds and foul mouth have made the chef a reality TV treat on both sides of the pond.
Dr. Miranda Bailey "Grey's Anatomy" Yet another thespian makes an impression as Chandra Wilson commands look-ups as the residents' "Nazi."
Montgomery Burns "The Simpsons" Of all the bosses, this robber baron inspires the most searches for his words of wisdom.
JR Ewing "Dallas" He was the subject of one of the biggest cliffhangers in TV history. The second-biggest is whether the movie will ever get made.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy "House" Managing a misanthrope makes her one of the few bosses to win our sympathy.
Boss Hogg "The Dukes of Hazzard" The sputtering oaf always got thwarted by the Duke boys, but searchers still cotton to the incorrigible schemer.
Franklin Hart, Jr. "Nine to Five" Dabney Coleman's character inspired a worker's anthem and was deemed worthy of a widescreen comeback 26 years later.
