She's a real bully and also a bully of the crudest kind. They are not admired or respected...rather, they are just tolerated.
The US workplace is populated wall-to-wall with these types. And, she IS a type, NOT an individual!
There was a corpulent bullying woman at a GOP function I went to and never had anything to do with after she targeted me.
She tried to force me to volunteer for TWO YEARS FULL TIME which I declined so she tried to embarrass me by ignoring my questions during the meeting and talking over me.
I found out from others that that is her MO, having come from the dem party where she spectacularly failed when they saw what a bitch she was. So, she switched parties and voila.
She is definitely cut from the same cloth as this toxic, dangerous and hateful woman.
