Highly recommend reading the book, "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout, and the follow-up "Surviving the Sociopath Next Door." She also covers dealing w sociopaths in government, at work. Sadly, it is a book for the times (all written pre-pandemic tho).
Psychopaths never fold, they double down. (multiple sources)

Another book is 'Political Ponerology' - A Science on The Nature of Evil adjusted for Political Purposes.
Wish I could have read them (books) before I quit my job to get away from them (sociopaths/narcissists).
Take heart: if I recall correctly re: workplace, best strategy is to exit if possible.
Whoa! Pure truth right there. ЁЯСЖ
