Horrible Bosses

Nick Hendricks arrives at his high-powered financial firm at 6:00 am, eager to start his day. However, he is immediately reprimanded by his boss, Dave Harken, for being two minutes late, signaling the oppressive environment he has endured for eight years.

Despite Nick's diligent efforts and dedication to his job, his boss continues to withhold the promotion he desires. This fuels Nick's frustration and highlights the favoritism Dave Harken shows towards himself.

Dale Arbus, engaged to Stacie, faces relentless advances from his boss, Julia Harris. This harassment exacerbates Dale's anxiety, making it difficult for him to navigate both his work and personal life.

Kurt Buckman, enjoying his job at Pellitt Chemicals, grapples with the obnoxious behavior of Bobby Pellitt, Jack's son. This dynamic complicates Kurt's position, as he is uncertain about Bobby's plans following Jack's unexpected death.

The trio suffers a blow when Jack Pellitt dies suddenly from a heart attack. This event serves as a catalyst for their subsequent decisions and sets the stage for their struggles against their bosses.

In the wake of Jack's death, Nick, Dale, and Kurt gather at a local bar to share their frustrations about their bosses. This meeting becomes a pivotal moment as they begin brainstorming ways to improve their unfortunate situations.

The following day, Nick's hopes are crushed when Dave Harken promotes himself to the position Nick has long desired. Threatening Nick with dire consequences, Dave solidifies his oppressive grip on Nick's career.

Kurt learns that Bobby plans to sell the company, stirring fear about the consequences for employees. This realization deepens Kurt's frustration and cements their determination to take action against their bosses.

Dale experiences a terrifying encounter in Julia Harris's office, where she corners him with aggressive advances. Feeling vulnerable due to his status as a flagged offender, Dale's situation becomes increasingly dire.

The trio humorously considers hiring a 'Wet Work' expert from Craigslist to eliminate their dreadful bosses. Instead, they unwittingly recruit a gigolo who specializes in fetishes, setting off a series of comical events.

At a bar, they meet Dean 'Motherf****r' Jones, who offers his services for $30,000. After a brief negotiation, they settle on $5,000 for him to help with their dark plan, marking a pivotal moment in their scheme.

In a misguided attempt to gather information, the trio breaks into Harken's house. However, a chaotic incident with an EpiPen inadvertently saves Harken's life, showcasing the absurdity of their plan.

Desperate for a solution, they return to Jones for advice on obtaining a confession from Harken. He suggests they set a trap during Harken's surprise party, creating high-stakes tension for the trio.

At the surprise party, a tape recorder meant to capture Harken's confession instead records evidence of Kurt's affair. This blunder adds comedic frustration and intensifies the chaos of their night.

In a twist of fate, the recorder captures Harken admitting to the murder of Bobby just as police arrive to apprehend him. This resolution not only frees the trio but also changes their lives in unexpected ways.
