old lady does not equal harmless

I work with a miserable unproductive harvester of misery that is causing all of us to loose clients. She thinks nobody would suspect her, an old lady, of cursing out loud, berating clients, having personal call fights mid-office and slamming around things intermittently throughout the day. That may be, but I intend to record, hit play and dispel the myth so she can no longer play the "harmless old lady" card if I can do that. She is jealous of her friend who got the job she thought she was going to get when hires, She in spite of any level of supportive mentoring or help is unwilling to work unless she thinks someone important is near. She rips these same people down behind each others backs just like everyone else. She is in a low position and only intends to be a slow acting poison to the boss and everyone she's around because she is opposed to doing her job. She practically has HR on speed dial daily for CYA when she's late or wants to invent an issue or excuse. She milks away every hour of pay she can while mostly making personal calls to stir fighting wherever she can. She makes it impossible to do business. She acts like it's a free ride. Other people her age work as hard as anyone and yet this one person takes advantage of the place and destroys our company client relationships with her foul mouth and our office moral with her quiet gossip. It's time to throw mama from the train before it derails. Does anyone here know how to get rid of a nasty person like this?

If you read other posts ("It Never Ends") this person is angry and feels entitled to do these things. She needs to be stopped TODAY. Visit Bullyonline.org and Kickbully.com.
Recording her and documenting her behaviors are a great start.

Before you start anything do some sleuthing:
Find out if your Old Lady is close to retirement. Don't rely on anything she says. Find out her real age and how long she has been....working.
*Find out if she has any protectors in high places, relatives, grown children friends local politicians e.t.c.*
If any of these facts fit it may be a wasted effort to do anything; or you may have to change your plans, play along until your find something better.

Remember, she has played this game since before you were born and she became very good at it. Aging sociopaths have to end up somewhere. Therefore proceed with caution!
Don't want to write a long paragraph about my little old lady experiences it could turn into a small book by the time I am done.

Our "Little Old Lady" is a secretary in the office. She is awful--she thinks she is the Boss and hasn't even gone to college or ever taught a class (we are teachers). Since the new Principal took over though, she has had to clamp it with her rudeness and condecension towards others. I hate her.
