How do you deal with a senior coworker who is hard to work with (messages and even calls at all hours of the day, is incredibly rude and abrasive to the team, pits team members against each other, etc.)?

I’m recording everything and have notified HR and my manager, as well as this coworker’s manager. But it’s been going on for months and no changes seem to be made. And truthfully, it’s really starting to wear on me

Keep firm boundaries with that coworker. I have had coworkers like that in the past and you have to be firm with them and make sure to enforce your boundaries. I definitely wouldn't respond after hours.

I would ask your manager directly what the timeline is for resolution and what success looks like. If there’s no clear answer, that’s an answer.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. I wish HR was more supportive and hope they are for you. Sounds like you’re going down the right path

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
