Bully Co-Worker? Stressin' Out!

I think all of us at one time or another have a job where there's that "one" co-worker who brings the office morale down; amongst other things. Well, I'm in that position and I'm lost! This co-worker is rude; she yells; she slats and slams things; she sabotages work in the office; she lies. Because it appears to be a common theory that she has something she's holding over my boss? She gets away with it all. Myself and one other co-worker work the hardest and produce the most volume and quality of work, yet we get no recognition for it. Sometimes, I feel like I'm loosing my mind! I just don't get it!

I love my job. Others have left due to the situation. To be honest, my boss isn't a top quality boss as she's allowed this to continue for years and prior to my ever being employed with this department.

Anyone else ever been in this situation? Care to share what you did to resolve it other than leave?

HELP!

I have this same problem, almost. I work at a pizza place and I'm the youngest one there. Everyone else employed are twenty-somethings who screwed up in high school and so are now stuck in a rut. There is one girl, probably 24, who HATES me, and I have never done anything remotely deserving of the treatment she gives me. It isnt anything I can 'complain' to a manager about because it is all very stupid .. (she talks to me like I am seriously stupid, laughs about any mistake I make behind my back, bad-mouth me to other emplyees, ect.) I think it is because I'm so much younger, yet I have the same job and actually have a future. Reguardless, every night that I work with her is hell. I can deal with it because I know it is her own insecurity, but I still cringe when I walk in the door and see her standing there. What to do!? I'd also like to know!
