Hi,
My course of action would be:
a) Call them over and tell them that they are vitiating the atmosphere. This needs to stop post haste. Also explain that while one understand the disappointment of a break-up, there is no scope to give vent to their ill-feelings in the office or with the office crowd post office hours.
b) Watch for three to four days.
c) If there is no let up, then issue written warnings and mention clearly that the company reserves the right to terminate their services for violating the code of conduct (I hope you have one).
d) If the bad-mouthing continues, issue a show cause notice and terminate the services.
Hope this helps you.
Best regards
