Whip them into shape
A toy whip and bandages can send a humorous, but pointed message, to the workaholic boss.

Workaholic bosses can be the worst. They expect you in at 5 a.m., are texting you at 6 a.m. and are wondering why you are leaving "early" after a 12-hour day. For that manager who drives everyone way too hard, head to a toy or dollar store and pick up a toy whip and a box of bandages.

With tongue firmly in cheek, add the following message: "Whip it good is a better song lyric than a management style."
