Myself, for putting up with them.
There are seniors above me who work in the same office/company I work with, and some of them are absolute, total assholes. But to get my own work done through/with them, it becomes important to endure their presences in everyday office life. Not only that, but to sit in front of them and listen to them brag, boast and act all "superior than the entire human race." Absolutely hate that kind of attitude, but got to just sit back with a false smile and listen to all that bullshit.
Enduring an asshole who is a superior, and enduring an asshole who is a senior, are totally different experiences. The superior is someone who will never change his attitude, but at least he's temporary. In 2-3 years time, he's liable to get transferred to another Branch.
But, the senior shares the same position as you, but has a lead of 18-20 years in experience, and WONT be moving out of the office till he retires. Yes, he gets a lot of your pending work done through a simple phonecall, but he can be a total dick the rest of the time. Even to you.
And you cannot risk calling them off over anything, because they got their hooks into everything. Some others before me found that out the hard way. Its tough, its unbearable, but it comes with the job.
Many days I return home and think back over the day spent, and moments come flooding back which are either really frustrating, or really exasperating...
Let me tell you, its easier to hate yourself than hate the world.

OMG. I was in a position sooooooooo similar to what you just described. I was literally throwing up so many days before going to work that I was starting to come in late cuz I had to settle my stomach before I could even drive into work. I was a contractor, so I got out of it the easy way. After extending my contract several times, they couldn't the last time.
Please do NOT hate yourself! Do the best you can, but don't lose your integrity. Put up with what you can to keep your job, but leave it there when you go home. You still are the same good person that you are, no matter what games you have to play at work. Don't lose site of who you really are.
Do you have to be on call after work?
