Hostility, yelling, threats, etc just aren't worth it and I have zero patience for it in a job. I had an exec once who would threaten to cut people's fingers off if they didn't accomplish incredibly unreasonable things, or throw them out windows, or whatever.. It wasn't a serious threat, but it also isn't a fun thing to listen to all the time. I realized after a while of that sort of abuse that no job is worth that and I have much less tolerance for it. Thankfully it isn't super common, but it is surprising how many people think that is a useful way to work.
