Colleague. I think the higher ups want to make me her manager someday/somehow but I have no idea how that'd work, especially since I have no managerial training whatsoever.

My manager is a position that isn't filled, so I report to my grandboss. He's a nice guy but nearing retirement and it shows, in both good and less-good ways

Everyone knows about her behaviour. She's tolerated because she keeps the business running and does the work of a whole department by herself. If it came down to me vs her, I'm sure that the business would choose her in a heartbeat.

Thank you, I hope so too. I'd even be happy just not having to deal with her lol

Everyone is replaceable. I wouldnt be surprised if they wanted you to be her manager so you can learn what shes doing potentially. And then you could replace her. Either way try not to let her get to you because at least shes not directly in charge of you. Shes disliked for a reason.

Meanwhile, I re-interviewed for a job I declined this past January on November 14 and still haven't heard anything, even though the hiring manager told me "this is really just a formality since we offered you this position before."

Did you try following up? A lot of companies are slowing down hiring as well. I interviewed with one that turned me down last summer because they paused on the role. Reached back out, had me interview again, then put it on pause again. It was infuriating.

I just got off the phone from a second interview for a $70k a year job. Thought it went pretty well. Hopefully I get it

Good luck!
