A villain is the source of the troubles faced by the heroes, but more. Between a hero and a villain, there is more than day to day opposition or petty grievance. The villain must add a level of threat, or at least a challenge, to the troubles he causes to the heroes. There must be a personnal opposition, a rivalry a conflict, and something at stake.

Like Love Robin said, a mere bad boss is not enough, keeping with our old policy of "Jerks =/= Villains". On the other hand, neither is a mere criminal.
