because going to your managers supervisor and complaining that he's an arsehole will get you nowhere fast (in my expereince) getting the backing of your work colleagues (to the point where they are prepared tp speak up) will. As much as they may sympathise with his experience would they really want to risk getting reputations as trouble makers if it all doesnt work out?
Supervisors hate dealing with personality conflicts as its difficult to appoint blame when people just dont get on. What you have to do is make your manager look like the one with the problem, that means getting other people to hate him, that means being nice to them first, that means a bit of extra work.
Supervisors/managers like to see a nice stable untroubled work force, by being pro-active with the complaints you can easily become identified as the one with the problem.
