This is a common problem, unfortunately. I'm a self-taught developer, now a Senior, and I've experienced this type of attitude throughout my 6-year career.
The best thing I did is to keep moving companies until I found one that didn't have this culture.
Edit: For anyone that see's the comment from @johnkievlan
below, and is second-guessing themselves, don't. Either, they are a troll looking to get a reaction or are one of the people that create such toxic environments.
I'd rather have a Junior, with no experience, over a supposed "Senior" with such a toxic attitude.
Exactly what I was going to say too.
I switched companies twice in a 6 month period but now I'm very content with my situation.
It may come down to how low the self-respect and expected respect-from-company ratio you're willing to tolerate, but I believe always wanting more yet being humble enough to never stop researching and studying your field to be the optimal mindset.
If you find yourself miserable, do switch(with considerations of the job market).
Hope you make the right choice my good friend :)
