'I can't believe you said that': Work mom won't stop commenting on everyone's physical appearance, employee talks to management

In every work environment, there tends to be a work mom, someone who isn't necessarily in charge but serves as an emotional support figure. However, apparently, not all work moms are universally supportive…

In this instance, we have a work mom who may have started out that way but perhaps due to cultural differences or simply due to a false sense of superiority, she started to manipulate those around her with incessant insults and unkind comments. At first, the Redditor who shared this story thought it might have been a language or a cultural barrier since she was from Peru. However, this lady was informed by OP and her coworkers that her comments were inappropriate and she continued to make them with no end in sight. That is a sign in and of itself that it's not merely cultural. It's a deeply flawed personality trait that needs to be corrected. Otherwise, she should lose her job.

The most upsetting part of the story is that OP and her coworkers went to management, and of course, they didn't do anything meaningful. They simply dismissed the complaints. What is the point of management existing if they won't protect their employees both externally and internally?
