    you think they're your friends until you work with them...
    i realized that you never realy know a person until you work with them.
    a good friend of mine got me this job at a internet cafe, about the first week i saw how unfair he was. he's the maneger, he bosses around like hell, he never wants to work if someone can't come in or is sick, he makes the schedule late and then gets pissed if someone cant make it , he makes you come in even if you are so sick you cant walk and he wont even think of taking your shift.
    his girlfriend works here also and gets 4 days off, and he never makes her work even if no one can come to work... he prefers that we work 14 hours straight. he tells you at the last minute you have to come in because he made a mistake in the schedule
    arrrgg... he's so unfair, treats us all like crap... he'll make me work 7 days and not even think of working one day to give me a day off
    and thats just half of the story, he's so irresponsible and always tries to blame it on us the employees.
    ok thats enough...
    has anyone else gone throught this... i mean we used to hang out every weekend, now i cant stand the sight of him, and he keeps saying not to mix friendship with work, but how can i be friends with such a bad, selfish, mean, disrespectful person.
    just today, after i told him on tuesday that i was going to a soccer game on friday, he says i have to come and close the stores, after he said someone else would do it... he didnt even consult the other person... so that is not my fault. and then he says he already bought the tickets also, yeah sure... he didnt even know about the game until i told him. then he says to me " work is the priority" well then YOU come
    screw him
    i'm not angry, just wanted to see if this has happend to anyone else

    Get another job. Work shouldn't be so stressful.

    people are usually shit, therefor treating others like shit, its a cycle, live with or change your surroundings.

    yeah, working with your friends never seems to work out. My manager at a past job hired a couple of her friends and they just slacked off way more than any other employee did (not at all saying that's your situation, just my experience with it) and she couldn't really discipline them well (talk to them about what was going on) so she ended up either firing them or pressuring them to quit

    Note to self: never hire friends that you're actually gonna work with on a daily basis or supervise
