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!

With your help, we've ID'd some of the potentially worst bosses in New York. We'll be parading them in front of you daily, and when we're done, we'll all decide together who's the worst. Feel free to shout out your suggestions if any of these tales joggles a traumatized (or happy) memory!
