These managers are essentially adult versions of bullies and you should deal with them accordingly. Within a company there are two options: 1) This is considered unacceptable behaviour but it has gone undetected so far. 2) This is considered acceptable or even desirable behaviour. In the first case, standing up for yourself and exposing the behaviour will be the right thing to do and you'll find that your company will back you up. In the second case, standing up for yourself will get you (and possibly anyone who supports you) fired. Either way standing up for yourself will be an educational experience, but statistically speaking if this is happening to you it's most likely because it's normal within the company.
