I've recently come into a workplace that can only be described as ground-zero for a nuclear estrogen bomb at this point. We have a co-worker that literally goes off the walls when:

She doesn't get her way - If you don't do things the way she wants she yells and screams like a child. Everyone's a target, even the managers.

You dare to challenge her - First she hurls word-salad at you, then insults, then just downright discredits. Prove her wrong and she starts throwing every imaginable ism, accusation, dagger she can at you.

You even think about saying no to her and you've just released every safety imaginable.

Incredibly two-faced, constantly in everyone's business, constantly lies, spends more time typing daggers to other departments than actually working. But what reeks the worst about this...is that she seems to be protected by our top management. I say this because she has a long line of complaints against her from tons of customers and employees spanning literally YEARS. Our customers are very important to us and the services we provide are critical to their well-being, yet she flat-out treats them like they are the lowest scum on earth - and our managers protect her.

After 7 years of documented abuse towards customers and employees, she finally received a "First offense" 2 days ago because we finally have a supervisor that won't take her shit. Seven. Years.

And this isn't even taking into account the repeated false allegations. She told everyone from day one that "I hate men, so you're you're gonna have to deal with that".

Kings, everything in my being tells me that the only course of action is to get the hell out of this company. I never had a problem until I ended up having to deal with this girl, only to find out that her atrocious behavior is being encouraged. She's not even a top-performer, not by a longshot.

Am I wrong for thinking like this? Is there something I should do differently while retaining my current job? I've been putting in resumes since I started in this office because of this. I see no way to win that doesn't involve a fight that I really don't think is worth the effort. Top-performers are being suppressed so that this hussy can spit poisoned pussy juice at everyone - including the man that protects her in management. Obviously he is compromised somehow.

If nothing else, I really just need to hear from someone. I can't say I have much in the friend category. I'm working on that.
