Current image is fine but I found this example from here which works without any text. Opinions?

I dunno, that doesn't say Executive Meddling to me so much as it says "the boss is a slavedriver".

I think it's not bad.

Agreed, I get more Mean Boss vibes from it. Needs the video context to know the guy with the whip is the author’s editor/publisher.

That's not Executive Meddling, it's just a plain old Bad Boss.

No need to replace the image. It already illustrates the trope as much as it can.

Keep the current. It’s funnier, and as others have said, the suggestion looks more like a Mean Boss.

I thought the reason we removed the previous image, along with having a lot of hard-to-read text, was that it was too negative? Keep the current, it's more illustrative.

Keep current. It’s funnier and less overtly negative.

We've got consensus that this one's a keeper; it's been added to the "multiple threads" list. Locking up.
