Yes I’m sure plenty here have - what’s the question you have?
My advice is if they’re sufficiently senior and influential, and nothing is being done about their behaviour it’s a toxic workplace - you should leave the company.
My experience was as a direct report to someone like this, they were very toxic.. regularly demeaning their team. They siloed us so it would have been very difficult/impossible for other departments to understand given their influence so I moved on as did everyone else in the team.
If you’re also senior I suppose you have a chance of helping other peers to subtly see the behaviour… good luck

The question - What's the experience and how / if they dealt with it.
I am not looking for any advice on how to deal with this situation, I am influential and at a senior role as well.
But I wanted to hear experience that other's have had.
