It's not about American or European. Assuming these jerks are of higher rank, few people have the balls to stand up to their boss short of quitting. If they're lower or equal rank, then we don't have much to talk about unless the person is just a masochist that enjoys being a doormat.
In the West, we have some laws to deal with these problems.
In Japan and Korea, it wasn't that long ago that it was
totally acceptable for your boss to smack you in the face. And you have to take it because no company will hire you if you quit.
It's still pretty bad in South Korea and China, just look up Korea Airline nut rage scandal.
The strong always oppress the weak. The weak gets angry and revolt, then they become the strong and proceed to oppress those weaker than them. This is the summary of human society and history.
