I've faced such bosses multiple times in my career. Once upon a time I put up with it and rationalized it as some necessary evil. More recently I've left jobs because of it.

Nowadays, I recognize it as an inherent consequence of capitalism; with few exceptions, workers lack the bargaining power to resist abuse, be it from the ownership class or from fellow workers appointed as "managers" and given the bare minimum scraps of power over the rest of us for them to feel like honorary members of the ownership class. The rational play is to accept that no corporation is your friend; your boss will drop you in the blink of an eye, and it's in your best interests to maximize your ability and willingness to reciprocate.

Depends what your level of abuse is that justifies the effort of changing jobs.
