After 5 years dealing with my boss I feel more confident to tolerate any people or situation, but there's a limit and you don't need to tolarate everything. Step up for yourself.

I knew my boss was an ignorant and arrogant since the first interview, he said "you know about windows 8? We work with windows 12". He is a compulsive liar, he makes people confront each others, he tries to manipulate, he stole objects from office(pens, computers, anything), he will open your personal things (backpacks, etc) when you are not in the office. We confront him directly, he apologized and he recognized his errors, but he don't care and still is an asshole every day

Some people find a way to fire you if you step up for yourself. It's an art to maintain your personal boundaries against this kind of people.
