[quote=Anonymous]I have a coworker who I have been very close with for the past five years.  We get together outside of work, we chat at work, she texts me at all hours. etc.

We sometimes work on projects together, but she is very disorganized and takes a long time to complete her part, often leaving me with less than a day to do mine.  I really like her and can usually accommodate this, but two weeks ago, I ran into a situation where I was working on a project with someone else and didn't have time for her last-minute needs.  I asked her to allow me 48 hours in the future (she has the projects for 1-4 weeks ahead of time).

Ever since then, things have been different.  I had complained to her that our boss wasn't acting on something in a timely manner - he missed the deadline for one of my requests and he still hasn't approved for a vacation I requested last month.  Anyway, my coworker emailed my boss to tell him I was complaining about him.

My boss called me in his office and asked if I was looking to get fired.

My friend changed so much, so fast.  We used to be buddies, she told me all her family and job woes, and I would share some of mine with her.  I guess it won't be like that now, but I'm in the habit of trusting her.

Any tips for moving forward?
