OMFG I just can't with these guys. However, I have HAD TO (as have we all, amirite?) for my now-over-50-years in the workforce. Which included breaking glass ceilings in network TV engineering & field production, so YEAH, I'VE GOT SCARS and the stories to go with 'em. Big fucking high five on this from my rage monster. Highest of fives.
I don't tolerate it on my team or with my employers, but then I'm a white man with the privilege to change jobs. Still, finding a place where entitled assholes aren't tolerated is a fucking miracle. I'm never leaving my current gig but I acknowledge I just may not have heard about some fuckery taking place behind the scenes.
They are the worst! I see it all the time. They stay empowered in their bullshit feeding on each other's shit. I burns me to the core, too. Recharge, reload and re-engage as best you can but never give in if it doesn't cost you anything substantial.
The "if it doesn't cost you anything substantial" is exactly the problem. It often DOES cost us. A lot. So we do give in. We sit down. We shut up. We doubt ourselves. And they get rewarded for the effort because there are zero consequences for them to do so.

That sucks ass, too. Cuz these fuckers have no accountability.
