Can this trope be applied to about 90% of villains in fiction? (and Real Life as well)
Are they any heroic examples of the Bad Boss trope? Where someone is morally slanted on the good side yet treats his/her friends like garbage?

Not really. This trope is usually a villain or bad person trope.

I see. Probably the closest we get to a heroic version of this trope is Good Is Not Nice.
Speaking of which, can a Token Evil Teammate exhibit Bad Boss behavior?
Yes, I'd say so.

What are some examples of heroes being disgusted by Bad Boss behavior?

I think Darth Vader's chokedowns can be easily seen and avoided. The one's who get choked made critical errors.
Episode 4:Smack talked Darth Vader Ep5. Was dumb and disobeyed orders. Always follow orders to the letter. Also taking responsibility for losing Solo instead of continuing the search! "We are searching for them right now Lord Vader!"
