I would take Sassybluesy's advice. There is more than one way to handle your feelings. Confrontation is one of them but I don't take that route. Part of being professional is being creative with your responses so that the conflict doesn't escalate. You don't want her actions to be a main source of conflict but a challenge that everyone faces. The only time I deal with a problem is when I see it with my own eyes. Even then, I consider the other person's point of view before I speak up, not to 'walk in their shoes' but to avoid some piece of information I would have never seen coming.

Update: It's going to be "dealt with" per the HR person coming into my office and telling me. She was very sincere about it. I'm excited!

Just smile. Kill them with kindness. Keep your head down and stay in your lane.

That's how the weak end up getting eaten.

She may not get eaten, but she's about to get bit really bad.

Ain't talking about her. Talking about people that think smiling, being kind and doing basically nothing is the right thing to do when they're in the cross hairs.

I never have either, so I agree. It may go nowhere, but I've been directly told it is being dealt with and there was a meeting about it. I won't know until Monday.

No, don't do that. That could be taken as a threat and you're a male and younger than her.

I had a similar situation years ago, and pretty much everyone knew this woman was the problem. I documented(and kept it at home) of dates and times and a detailed description of any issues I had with her.

Keep a record even though it sounds like your boss and coworkers are on to her. I would also if possible avoid being alone with her.
