I dunno, that could getting nasty by turning into victimisation.

Problem is most of the dictators are actually alright and decent people over the dinner table/at the bar. It's the cockpit environment that results in their ego. We operate within a locked environment where our superiors are not present to observe and so the bad ways of gnarly skippers go unnoticed. As a result, they end up thinking they're gods over all dominions, not just flight safety and commercial astuteness. In the office environment, such toxic behaviour gets noticed and dealt with a lot quicker.

My advice to FOs is to write company reports. Keep them free of emotion and full of facts. They do eventually get correlated and the really nasty characters are told to change. I've seen it happen. However, in the midst of a bit of a pilot shortage (can I say that yet?), choices are limited.
