Yep. Worked with one of those once. Totally poisonous. And she started influencing some of the younger team members to act up, which didn’t go well for them.

Definitely worked with a woman like this. I didn’t call her a frenemy at the time, but that’s a pretty solid way to describe it. She always acted like she was on your side, said all the right things, made it seem like she was advocating for you but she was constantly collecting intel and could turn on you in a second. The worst part was she had the boss’s ear, so she had way more influence than people realized. I saw her go after a lot of people in the office.
