It is a "monkey see, monkey do" syndrome. Or more correctly "slave syndrome". Meaning "slaves want to do what their masters were doing", "want to be a boss to do what his/hers boss is doing to them".

When someone is abused and survived there is big chance that they will became abusers if they can.
