Amen. Besides, as several associates here have discovered to their sorrow, some the bigwigs may have far more concern for their menials' feelings than for your continued employment.

Ditto. I've said before that a person who cannot, without browbeating, screaming, or threatening, persuade a secretary to put em's work at the top of the pile has no business being in a profession in which we persuade others to adopt our view of things.
Of course, to the extent DS has a tacitly dismissive attitude toward valuing menials' feelings over the associates, I disagree unless it relates to something mild, like a misperceived snub. Being actually abusive to a subordinate is grounds for firing for multiple good reasons, potential liability among them, and I'm secretly pleased to see someone like that go.
