Dealing with Bitchy powermad managment.?

You have few choices. The social aspects of work are much more important than the other things like "rules". Therefore, your choices are limited to becoming a favorite, and being quiet about the rule breaking. HOWEVER, I would doent with names, times, and places any time you see a manager breaking company policy. In the end, this will serve you well if push comes to shove. yet, the best thing you can do is to get along. If you can't manage that, then really you aren't fit to work there because that is the current culture in place. Until management higher up wants things different, you can not change it from your weaker power base below. Best of luck
