That guy was an egomaniac with a pathological need to be the smartest person in the room. Which was unfortunate for him, because although a competent technician, he was awful at running a business. Also he decided at some point that he knew enough about his craft in a field where everything is constantly changing.
some people really seem to think that shitting on the ones who actually do the job solves anything

I’ve left so many bosses like that.
I just don’t have time for them anymore. I’ve actually done
“2 weeks of holidays starts after today. Here’s my 2 weeks notice.”
“what am I doing after work? I have a cab arriving out front and a plane ticket. I’m not coming back”
came in, catalogued and dropped off my own gear in a locked space, took photo, key to a peer, dropped by HR on the way out, switched off phone.
The less they can live in your headspace, the better.
To be fair, I voiced my concerns. I told one boss he had a year. I gave him 18 months.
