Toxic employee makes coworkers cry and rolls her eyes during meetings, manager can't fire her because she hits 150% of her targets: 'She says [her coworkers] are too sensitive.'

• Some top performers are unpleasant to be around, not because they won't have a water cooler chat. They're unpleasant to be around because they think they're better than everyone else. Anyone who is constantly trying to be better than their coworkers and freaks out whenever their coworkers do better than them needs to work on themselves. It's good for the company when employees are a little competitive with each other. Still, if one employee thinks they are on a pedestal they can never descend from, it leads to antisocial behavior that's bad for workplace morale. 

• I am managing a toxic high performer who hits 150% of targets. How do I protect my team without losing the numbers?
