Actually this kind of thing is 100% the reason I quit my last job.
Why should I, the technical person who knows how the product works, take direction from someone who didn't have to grind like I did to get my skills?
I need to work for people I respect.

Yeah same here. If you can't respect your peers and your boss then you end up in this vicious cycle of questioning every decision and all the work you're asked to do.

The ego is a normal part of a healthy functioning human being. One cannot take too much of an affront to one's ego for too long. You say you're cool with it, but you're not actually cool with it. You have buttons that can be pressed, just like anyone else. :-)
