Привет Iris:-)
Hmm...
In my opinion,
"Importunate people" are those who are "too persistent, too demanding, too insistent, or too intrusive."
-->> Instead of saying "He is such an importunate boss.", you can say "He is such an overly demanding boss."
"Bothersome people" are those who are "pesky, troublesome, irritating, or annoying."
-->> "An importunate boss like him, though bothersome, is needed by this company to prosper."
<<> Importunate people may be bothersome at times but not always (it all depends on the length of your patience). <>>

Iris,
Here is one that I am familiar with.
A pest....an annoying person
to pester....to annoy someone, especially by asking them something many times
You're being a real pest. Would you leave us alone, please?

"Bothersome" is a good variation, however "demanding" is more commonly used.
