I can truly appreciate your suffering from asset-holes.
Sorry for your troubles. The 15 year old in me would laugh at people like that without thinking about the self-employed consequences. In four more years I have the option of quitting, of walking away from megalomania/egomania tyrants unaccountable for their actions (within a few boundaries). Walking away from a pyramid structure of politics that was the most important agenda on the pedestal/altar. What did the CO tell the status-reporting-chief when we were deployed with a sailor with a ruptured appendix? "Is he dead yet? Then I don't want to here about it." It's a me me me world out there.
I can truly appreciate your suffering from asset-holes.
CYA {cover your ASSet) is a Navy mantra.
