I just found out today that my coworker, who was my work "bff", was throwing me under the bus for the entire time we worked together. We both started at the same time in January, but she left in September for a new job, but I am still at the original place and we have kept in contact.
The girl caused a considerable amount of drama but I just went along with it because we were both new to the job. We would text and complain about little things like what other's said to us, and discussed how we saw other's paychecks and how much they made, and mistakes we were making at work but just didn't care about because the work is so extremely demeaning. Anyway, turns out she was showing our conversations to our boss and colleagues, deleting ones that incriminated her and just made me look bad. I even confided in her about a DUI I received and she apparently went into work on her off day to tell our boss that I was an alcoholic and should be fired. I had no idea about any of this until just now, all the while she was pretending to be my best friend. I am extremely shocked and hurt, as I never said a word to anyone about things she did.
I sent her a text asking why she did that and she said yeah, I think you're a lazy sneaky B**** and thought I was better than her. She said if it came down to one of us being let go, she knew it would be her so she was going to do whatever she could to make sure she looked good. There was a vast amount of tension at work between me and my boss and coworkers, and I never knew what it was. All the while I was trusting in this girl who I thought was on my side, when in reality she was the one causing it. I am just completely shocked and disgusted. My boss now knows that she was the one causing all the trouble and not me, but you really need to be careful who you trust. But behind my anger I have to think there's something wrong with her, or she at least was jealous and thought she couldn't stand on her own merit. All I can say is that I need to get out of this job fast because I have never felt so embarrassed to face these people!
