    It means either of 2 things: Bachelor of Philosophy (Philosophiae Baccalaureus) or Pointy Haired Boss (Dilbert reference)

    PHB = Pointy Haired Boss. This is a Dilbert reference. Dilbert's boss' hair is just in two little horns. PHB has come to mean any boss that is generally arbitrary, ignorant, and demanding, just like Dilbert's.
