Would you stay with your job even if your boss is too tough and not fair?

I bring up this discussion becoz once in my life i had been into this kind of situation where i work in a local company and our boss or owner is very tough and unfair to his employees in relation to work matters. Well i cannot say that he is that worst becoz sometimes he was s nice to us or to my other officemates . But when talking about his general behavior nobody likes him( well maybe there are some exemptions because he have lots of business associates who are close to him and thats beyond the issue because he is always nice to them coz that involves money and friendship to him and besides his behavior is quiet normal to others but not to his employees. I believe that bosses are always the boss but isnt it unfair to his employees that most of the times when he was upset with something personal or with his business colleages then he wants his employees to suffer also? Well i had a boss who's like that before who i can consider not an ideal one. Everyonbe of us who work for him are always cautious with our work and everytime he was in the office everybody is in tension because anytime or any minute you may never know you will be called to his office and be given a lecture for something even though its not really appropriate. He always did that to his employees and he dont really care how hurting his words already is that even if you are crying already in front of him because you cannot hide it however you wanna hide your tears but its just keep falling coz his words would stick in your heart like a knife ..and the worst part is you are scolded for something you didnt do or not your fault but its because of other people and sometimes its because its not your fault but His fault... can you imagine yourself in front of your boss crying already because he never stop telling you this and that and that hurts a lot because its not your fault and its his fault most of the times because he forgot that he give you that instruction and you just do it and then when something went wrong with it then you feel sorry coz he would say ITS YOUR FAULT!not only that..at times like that when it happened you have no right to stand and defend yourself too coz you are only given the right to listen and not say anything to him especially when its clear already that he is the one who made the mistake and not you. Whenever you started to say something like' Sir but its not..." you will be more sorry if you wanna defend yourself coz he would say you are just and employee and dont tell me what to do. The funniest part is everyone there who work for him either a girl or a boy,either you are married or single ..everyone cried already in a different times with different situation and he dont care at all. He knows that everyone sometimes consider him as a devil boss and he knows that he have no good reputation to his employees. But he is veyr different to the big boss himself...the big boss is his father who owns a lot of branches for the company i once worked with . Most of the original workers there stayed in respect and in loyalty to his father even though our boss in the branch had an untolerable bahavior...someof my colleages also dont like to live the job because afraid that they cant find one anymore or afraid to suffer a lot finding a nw job because its not easy to find one as a matter of fact. I dont know how many can tolerate and can stay in your job if your working environment is like that. Considering that you like your job or the task given to you because it fits to the job your looking for..but if your boss is like him would you stay there long?It took me atleast 2 years before i finally made my mind to leave that work because evenr though i love the bonding with my officemates and my work also but i think its not normal anymore to stay there and just end up my life there and just wasting my tears because of some mistakes made that im not supposed to be blame. But most of my officemates were married already that time and they have children to take care.They have been working in that company for a couple of years already and you cannot count also the time that they cried .Even a married man cannot escape from crying too ... You think that is still normal for a job like that? But you know they still stay in there because they said that if they leve that job then its not easy for them to make money and to feed their family. Ive been thinking that myself too before i leave that work to just quit right away after i was reprimanded for something i didnt made but then i cannot just do it. But im just lucky now that my husband ask me before to resigned from that job coz he always hear complains from me about my boss. If you are in my situation how can you help your officemates who suffer like that until now. IF they will ask your idea about it can you suggest something for them to improve their life? I believe that their life their is so crucial but they just take that as a part of their life already but they still need some improvement and they just dont know how. I dont even know how to help them myself. Maybe for some other people its no big deal but those people who suffer liek them now its very big deal already...

hi Well, in my workplace i had few bitter memories of working with rough and tough big bosses. But i never thought of quiting the job as i knew an unpopular boss will not be continued for a long time as it badly affects working environment. Team work is the back bone for every company. A boss is suppose to ensure a positive and enjoyable working condition so that job stress is minimized and the talent of the employees are fully used. Certainly a rough and tough boss is soon proved unsuccessful and be removed. So i preferred to wait for his removal rather than leaving the job.
