Should I discontinue a "friendship"?

Question

I made this friend at work and now we've been working together for almost two years. There was this position in the call center that offers better pay, like 20 cents more but with a lot of perks, and I wanted it first and I told her about it because she is my friend and I trusted her. I talked to my manager about it, but apparently so did she because when I came back from my vacation she had received the position in the call center. I ask my manager and she said that "my friend" hadn't received the position officially, but then I looked at the schedule and it says differently. I know for a fact that my manager doesn't like me and that she favors "my friend". But oh well what is lost is lost and I'm over it. The frustration isn't worth 20 cents, but I feel betrayed. I know if it were the other way around I wouldn't have done that to her. So should I continue being her friend or should I just be strictly business and try to avoid having a conversation with her?

Answer 1

I am very sorry for the betrayal.  It takes this kind of situation to show who your real friends are.  Go with your gut instinct and take it from there.  If you feel that you cannot continue with the friendship there is your answer.  Remember there are better people out there who will respect you and will be honest enough not to go do things behind your back.
