Boss to bully , misguided birthright

Reading the stories of Japanese bosses treating fello workers like dirt and resolving to harassment, makes me wonder if it's some misguided birthright to which these bosses feel entitled.
Do they feel, "I had to endure this as I made my way up the chain of command, and you should experience it too!" or maybe "I sacrificed my time with family to get here, and and you chose not to, how dare you?"
These bully bosses have no right to hang their past experiences and mistreatment on a new generation of workers.

A recent report issued from the Health, Labor, and Welfare Ministry reports that over 40% of Japanese workers surveyed have been bullied at work by supervisors.
Businesses lose an estimated 175 Million dollars a year due to legal litigation, of this close to 30% is related to bullying. It is in the organizations’ best interest to handle the problem before it becomes a crisis.

Bullying,Harassment and micro-management reduces morale and makes people less efficient at work. A wise organization knows the importance of creating an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect. It is no secret that it can provide tremendous benefits of improved creativity, morale and teamwork, and that employees that are happy and content work better, and harder.
Harassment,Bullying is an organizational and structural problem, not simply an individual problem.
