Until she made a complaint we got on fine with her but she clearly wanted to get an audience with big bosses and HR people to get noticed to ultimately help her "career" and she just used us a tool to do this

About 6 of us got called into a meeting with all the managers and got warned to keep all conversations with her work related and to stop having male related conversations that she can hear because we were alienating her and it was considered sexual harassment (excluding someone from based upon gender or something). We walked out of the meeting feeling pretty insulted so I pulled my boys together and said here's the plan. Follow the bosses instructions word for word. If she mentions her kids, family, or anything else no work related we gotta say sorry I've been warned against discussing personal issues or I can lose my job. If she walks near us we all go dead silent and stare at her and make her feel really really uncomfortable and like she isn't welcome. In other words, slowly mentally torment her, make work as miserable as possible, and see what happens

We did this for a while until the tension got so bad she started breaking down in tears regularly but there was nothing she could do because we were responding to her exact complaint word for word. She ended up having a mini breakdown infront of customers and all, going on stress leave, and getting moved to a different store. It was a good team building exercise for the rest of us though
LOL. There is no warfare quite like psychological warfare.
