Scott Rudin Is New York's Worst Boss
The polls are now closed! Big congratulations to "cultural producer" Scott Rudin, who has officially been declared New York's worst boss. (This is not shocking.) He edged out blog overseer Nick Denton and third runner up 'Your very own boss,' whoever that is. (We'd still like to hear about him/her!) Anyway, congratulations to Rudin, who will soon be resting his largish head on the 'I AM THE WORST BOSS'-embroidered pillow that is his prize. And condolences to Denton, Faith Popcorn, Richard Beckman, Mireille Giuliano, Claudine Gumbel, Robin Cembalest, Emily Whitfield, and Barry Diller, who should all use this defeat as inspiration to oppress their employees harder. Except Denton.Earlier: New York's Worst Bosses Poll

Emily Whitfield: Bad Boss Or Best Boss?
Yesterday, we nominated ACLU spokeswoman Emily Whitfield for our "worst bosses of New York" tournament, and though we noted she was a weak contender, we admit that we had no idea just how weak. Though we were thanked by one commenter—"There is justice in this world, and it begins with this article"—we also received an impassioned missive from a reader who was determined to clear Whitfield's name. It's both compelling and exhaustive! More »

New York's Worst Bosses: Peter Arnell 'Before'
We felt it was our responsibility to bring you just one more story about purportedly nasty adman Peter Arnell. This one dates from his pre-slimdown days, like this (admittedly crappy) photo. According to our tipster, Arnell used to like to demonstrate his loyalty to his clients by publicly using their wares. Commendable preach/practice ratio, right? Except when it allegedly involved binge-eating food-related clients' products—from M&Ms to Campbell's microwave dinners—voraciously in front of a captive audience. "How did he lose the weight?" our tipster wonders. "He was one of those guys who sweats when he eats." Mm-mm good! More »
