Why is this translated as "Those are my bosses" vs "They are my bosses"? Or would those both be said the same way? This doesn't seem right to me, but I haven't learned "These" and "Those" yet, so I could be wrong.

And "Onlar benim patronlarım" could also be translated as "These are my bosses", correct?

no, these and those are different.
"These are my bosses", would be "Bunlar benim patronlarım"

I think it's correct becouse the subject is a person, thats why its onlar. If the subjets was an object it would be şunlar. I think so correct me if im wrong.

would "olnlar benim patronumlar" be also correct ? and "onlar benim patronum" ?
the second case you say is incorrect,,, patronum= my boss,,, patronlarim=my bosses

I think it's "Onlar benim patronum" is correct because you don't have to use the plural after you've said "Onlar." For example, "They are tired" could be either "Onlar yorgun" or "Onlar yorgunlar." Do I have this right, experts?
Could this be shortened to 'patronlarım'? 'patron'-boss 'lar'-pl. 'ım'-is my/are my
