It's funny. A few weeks ago, my boss was tossing out names of people I should consider dating and getting close to. Every single name she tossed out was someone who was awful to my younger sister and I in school. I told her I wouldn't consider dating someone I went to high school with. It's a tiny town, and thanks to work, I see some of these people on a daily basis. I can polite and jolly, but there's a lot of dread when I am face to face with them.
Wow, that's pretty unfortunate. I'm glad I live in a big town and all the jerks have moved away. I couldn't deal with what you described, couldn't be polite to them, couldn't work with them, and absolutely would never work for them. Things would get ugly sooner than later and I'm glad I don't have much chance to get into that situation again. There are a few certain people I might just punch in the face on the spot.
