I don't have a ton of experience, but I think you saying this reflects back on you as well.

Maybe your boss and their boss really are terrible, or maybe you are angling for more power, and want them (even subconsciously) to look bad so you can be a hero in comparison.

There's a lot of space between "I don't like my boss" and "they are ruining this company and need to go and I should replace them"
