“Pointy Hair Boss”
https://dilbert.fandom.com/wiki/Pointy-Haired_Boss

Some of the things that characterize him are:

He openly tells people outside his current target market that they are worthless to him.
He thinks he is always right.
When warned about the consequences of not doing something, he ignores it. Later, when the warned consequence inevitably occurs, the person warning is blamed.
He doesn't seem to remember anything beyond about a week's range.
He rewards employees based on how well they stroke his ego instead of how well they do their job.
He is more focused on sounding important than being important.
He always takes sarcasm and metaphors literally.
He is 5 minutes away during crisis and 5 hours ahead during success.
He is a person from whom you are expecting the unexpected and the unexpected is expected.
