verbally abusive boss

I joined a team of 4 working for a verbally abusive, successful woman in a major financial firm. She talks down to everyone, insults, blames and accuses. She is so incredibly lazy, unprofessional, and unknowledgeable that she will call you into her office to log her into her computer, or enter a trade for her, or even check her voicemail. When we are busy she runs around dumb and helpless. If you didnt see it u wouldnt believe it. Whenever a situation presents itself she throws it in your lap, makes u come up with the solution and criticizes it. It is so bad we cringe when the phone rings or she enters. She is successful because she has no life, is an intelligent reader and picks great investments. Her clients have no clue, of how abusive she is. We have all found new jobs and given our notice. I am angry that HR continues to hire people knowing it is truly a revolving door- they pitch a wonderful opportunity and you quickly learn otherwise. Her mean reputation is widespread. She has gone thru at lease 7 assistants in 4 years. We are disposable, she brings in the big bucks. What can be done, before she brings sorrow into the next assistants life? When does it end, mgmt cares less.
