Except that Ren technically isn't in charge of anything?
In the visual dictionary, they talk about how Kylo Ren is outside the chain of command- Hux is actually the one in charge. But Hux has been ordered by Snoke to defer to Ren's demands- which is why Hux goes directly to him instead of parsing it out with Ren. Because he's basically having to go to the original source of the orders.
Furthermore, the novelization goes on to explain that a lot of the crew of the Finalizer and Starkiller base are TERRIFIED of him, because they don't know how he's going to lash out. For example, when Mitaka has to deliver the news that they've lost BB-8 on Jakku, he honest to god thinks that Ren's going to behead him right then and there.
Which means he's probably done it before, come to think of it.
