want to quit!

My old manager is a real bully she has total favourites and I am not one of them, she keeps pulling me up on making mistakes, however they are due to us all having to work with a new system that no-one knows how to use, and I am not the only one making these mistakes I have evidence that everyone else is doing the same, but she is threatening me and saying that I must improve, I am trying my hardest to do everything she says but every time I achieve something she moves the goal posts so that I can never achieve it. I now have a new manager as my old manager has been promoted but she has even drawn up an agenda for my new manager on little things that she must bring me up on, I feel that my new manager is just as intimidated, however there is no-where to turn all the management above her are related to each other and really cliquey as are HR and it is hard to say anything about anyone in the organisation as they are all in little cliques and related to each other. She makes me feel miserable every day and has a habit of standing over you at your desk, she also makes nasty comments about me in meetings to other people and implies that I have only one skill set related to the customer that I look after. I am looking for a new job but am worried that I will have to use her for a reference and that she would purposely give me a bad reference to be spiteful. If I quit I know I will make things hard for myself as it is hard to prove anything, but I feel so run down from the way she treats me that I am picking up lots of colds and flu and taking time off also, I feel that something has to give.
