More info needed, like is she rude to everyone including you?  In workplace politics its best to keep your nose out of it unless you are involved.

If it’s a large company, call your Human Resources for advice.

If it’s a small company, that’s a tough one.

Words of wisdom:

Keep a detailed journal of what’s happening so if/when management

asks for more information, you can provide. 

But like many upthread...details of this situation would help.

What is being described as ‘rude’ behavior?

A big plus is you like your job and team. Ignore the beast! Also, all the talk about documenting the behavior and going to HR can pretty much be disregarded. HR is working for your company so their focus is on preventing lawsuits. If you have a claim that could meet the legal definition of harassment of discrimination, then HR is the place to go, but if you have a rude boss, forget about it.

I complained about a terribly rude woman that was just put on our team when I was at Belk.

I talked with HR and had documentation.  We head a meeting with the team and because of her jealousy of my success, I was threatened.

I told them what I thought and they lost ther top seller!

I only had one bad experience with a rude person, who unfortunately was my boss.  I stuck it out.  I wanted to keep my job.  The sun smiled on me one day.  I came in and I was told she was fired.  Had great experiences ever since.

@stargazergal  Like others stated, it's hard to give advice when it's not clear what is happening.  Is this person in a position of authority over you and your team or is it just that this person is so rude to everyone or just one particular person?   Is the rudeness directly affecting your job or just something that you observe.

I thought bullying was no longer tolerated.I would ask that person to stop.

In this day and age if you need the job, the best thing to do is grin and bear it. Only other option is find another job. I would never go to HR, they are not your friend and you could end up being the one left out in the street.

You gave us a lot of words but you didn't actually say anything.  Which is strange.  Examples would help.
