Deliberate sabotage requires a proactive response. Most people that actively sabotage other people generally only have a few basic tactics in their bag of tricks, and once you have them listed they are easy to predict.
Say, for example, someone likes stealing your work. Do what any good 80s teen comedy proposes and set them up to take responsibility for shoddy work. Say that this person lies about you to your boss. Set them up to lie about something to someone that knows the accusations are false. Does she take things from your computer? Bring in a laptop from home that's password protected. Gossip? Gossip is about power, and a gossiper's power is in people's willingness to accept the gossip. Earn a sterling reputation with people she might gossip to and let them know that she's a gossip... problem solved. Stealing sales? Provide her a perfect opportunity to steal a sale and set her up to get caught doing it.
