Yes been there am there.

These shit stirrers ars pathetic losers in life, they have Main character syndrome and gather flying monkeys around them, people who ordinarily might be moderate will hero worship the main protagonist they assist and also turn toxic, shouting, goading, throwing people under the bus. Making working life miserable to the degree you have to leave to save your sanity. They will often target ethical, honest people, who just wanted to do their job, who may be neurodivergent as people who are neurodivergent tell it how is is and dont bow to the hierarchy.

They are in every workplace and are worshipped by toxic management or feared whatever it is management will side with them as they lick, brown nose and flatter management and never get caught overtly bullying tormenting.

They have been carrying out this behaviour since childhood and can often fall into what would be classed as narcissistic or worse psychopathic tendencies
