I liked your Dilbert regarding the clueless boss - "I'll pay a ten-dollar bonus for every bug you find and fix.".

Reminds me of when I worked on an applications software development team, a higher manager would hold weekly meetings with our team, requesting that we individually submit weekly tallies of software code lines that were added, modified or deleted. He would then combine the results in a report, and boast with glee in each meeting about how much code was altered.

The rest of us saw it as a waste of our time, so we would make up numbers and submit it to him. Then we would snicker as he read his reports. The more supposed bugs that caused problems, the happier he seemed, as if that was a sign of productivity. Clueless manager had a heart attack and died a few years later, made us all happier.
