okay so i have been working at this job for 2 years now and one of my managers became like my best friend we talked about everything and hung out all the time, and all of a sudden she started being so mean to me and actually made me cry! she wont help me get days off that i need and she talks behind my back well now i have another job but really need both jobs for the money what should i do thatis reasonable should i ignore it because that always is harder to do!! HELP
If that doesn't work, it might be necessary to go to her immediate supervisor or the human resources department and explain the situation. Regardless of whether the manager likes you or not, she shouldn't be creating a hostile work environment. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]

is she having problems outside of work that could be affecting her attitudes towards people (i.e. boyfriend issues, parent problems, fights with other friends...)? does she think that you did something to her behind her back or something that would make her respect you less (um, i dunno, smoke pot, be, erm, promiscuous??), or does she think you (or maybe did you) say something that offended her (something about her, or that george w. sucks, etc.)?
like uhohxomfg said, you should try talking calmly to her about it. don't just bring it up randomly, ask if you can talk to her about some things (make one of them something about work). be cautious in how you treat her and talk to her. it's easier than people would think to be overly-nice and overly-concerned and annoyingly smothering.
hope this helped. send me an update on the situation if you'd like. good luck!
UHOHxOMFG answered Tuesday April 4 2006, 1:20 pm: I would try talking to her calmly about it. like nothing mean or argueing or anything because you don't want to lose your job or friend. try to look at little things though. like maybe ask around seeing if like her personal life has something wrong or family or something. but if i were you i would just keep being nice to her and try to talk to her to see what is up. hope i helped <3 [ UHOHxOMFG's advice column | Ask UHOHxOMFG A Question ]
