Gonz, my previous boss was like that.
Fortunately he only had the role for four years (yeah, four loooong years - but I was on maternity leave for one of those). He was an absolute cunt and he bullied, pissed off and alienated about half of the staff. He's currently off on research leave but when he returns (not in the boss role) he's going to get a shock when he realises that the people he trampled on on the way up aren't going to be there to catch him on the way down.

Also - whatever you do, don't involve HR. I (naively) did, and they backed him. HR will always back the management, it seems.
