There is a woman I work with who I used to be friends with. Now she's not speaking to me.

@cherokeepatti I haven't really asked anyone else. A friend of hers works there too, and I could ask her, only I know she would make a huge deal out of it.

@MeowsoliniReturns There were 2 cousins where I worked, they were in their late 50’s and didn’t speak to each other for a year and it was because of another employee who was also from their country that started rumors and turned them against each other. My friend went to each one separately and got them to talking to each other again, they had been best friends.

@cherokeepatti That's so nice of you! I have had to take time off work lately due to an ongoing medical issue that my company is aware of. I have FMLA time. I think she may be mad about that. But I am not certain.

@MeowsoliniReturns Did she have to cover for any of your work while you were off? Some people are so insensitive and jealous too

@cherokeepatti No, she didn't. However, I think she's jealous because I get to leave right on time every day (my FMLA states that I cannot work over 8 hours a day).

@MeowsoliniReturns the Green-Eyed monster in her resents you leaving on time while she stays behind

@cherokeepatti Yeah, I guess so.

@MeowsoliniReturns the friend that makes a huge deal out of nothing may have gotten to her. Those people like causing drama. If she’s not big enough to talk to you about it, face to face, and work they it, you may be better off without her. But just in case it’s based on evil gossip, tell her you “hope she knows you well enough to trust you not to betray her” or whatever you think is right to say, adding one last time you’re offering to sort it out, or she can let it eat her up inside. Also, if she’s mad you have FML, she can sign up for it herself! It’s a little silly to upset over policies!
