This is what you said about her "My friend is a little spoiled. She works at a location about 4 minutes from her house and refuses to do any other job. At their wits end.. management offered her to do a job that would allow her to stay were she was... but check on work all over the state from that location. The issue... she would need to take a pay cut. Not a ton, just about 10 K gross. She refused.

Because of her inability to do the job right, her boss objected to his work and asked to have some of it taken away. He was granted it and some of his work was pawned off on me. "

Why are you defending her if she doesn't do her job, refuses to take an out when it presents itself, and leaves things undone before going on vacation?

I'm not seeing how this is a coworker/employee who deserves protecting. Maybe there is more to it than what you have written or we are misunderstanding you. If she truly is being bullied, all you can do is be a friend to her. I would stay out of it because you don't want to be associated with someone they are getting ready to fire. They may associate her negligence with you and target you the way they did her. So I would be as much of a friend as I could be to a coworker - remember, she's just a coworker - and let the chips fall where they may. Remember, this is all business, and everyone knows that companies are out for themselves and would enslave their workers if they could. So if she isn't willing to protect herself, then that's her choice.

You aren't responsible for her choices, and you can't change her. All you can do is be a supportive friend.
