[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without giving away too many identifying details I am wondering if this is normal in some places (I've never experienced it before)

Younger colleague has taken advantage of policies and been allowed privileges other people don't have 
Person was supported by "management" and as a matter of fact close relationship with management
People started to notice the special privileges and became vocal about it because management was cracking down on others while colleague had permission to skirt the rules
Management cracked down on colleague but colleague continued the behavior because it had become habit at that point
Behavior continued to create issues in the work place
Management's supervisor likely caught wind and management "cracked the whip" and verbally attacked colleague
Colleague runs out in tears humiliated/hurt because management had allowed her behavior to go on so long
Colleague has been coddled by others for years and despite being an adult doesn't take responsibility for role in the situation
Colleague has been in the middle of a number of drama-filled events and it is just exhausting to me because (again) it impacts my work
Colleague seems to believe that everyone should support her toxic behaviors. Most people are understanding at first but person takes advantage and everyone has pretty much had enough. 
Colleague is dumping issues on those around her and accusing others of not supporting her
When is enough enough???

You have my sympathy.

I am experiencing the same with my elderly coworker who can’t afford to stop working. Yesterday, I spoke to everyone higher up that I could access and at the end of the day, this coworker was heard yelling and making accusations about enemies.

Folks like these destroy workplace morale and push good workers out. Knowing I’m likely to outlive my coworker has kept me around. I can’t imagine that crap from someone younger.[/quote]

You both sound really petty. Why don't you just focus on your work, stop gossiping and tattling, and grow up? If you can't handle it, leave.[/quote]
