I am going to link to this and hope it is okay with you (not that I get a large audience mind you!) What you described here goes on in most companies. No, every boss isn't a dick, but far too many of them are and all for the reasons you cited. I so enjoy reading you, even if I don't come here often. Good luck with the job search!

I did once have a boss with whom I was friends - and I consider that a credit to her. We also shouted at each other, had some of the problems that you describe, but she was never abusive - never misused her power - well, not too much. Your Bossman's inability to 'remember' raising his voice is definitely a huge red flag, and as you say, typical of abusers. On another topic - in your previous post you mention Chef Flay - are you aware that his wife will reprise her old TV role for six episodes, starting tonight - 3/10? Hmmm – happy days.
