Of course, I would advise the coworkers to try to keep a distance from this employee and to do the best they can at their jobs, because I think that, with time, things will find their course; but I understand there are other options to deal with this issue, just like escalating it.
The second option, in my opinion, would be too similar to his actions, and it might cause major drama, which wouldn’t be useful to anyone. In my opinion, it’s always best to be far away from where the drama has its focal point.
