[quote=Anonymous]So, you would say something dispararing about your boss to a close friend of hers?  This makes your error even worse.  You really have no common sense.

As for the firing, my guess is that this incident was the straw that broke the camel's back.  From OP's additional comments throughout this thread she demonstrates an immaturity and lack of propriety and perspective that she probably also has IRL.  It's unfortunate that no one came out and told her how badly she communicates with an eye towards her learning to improve her communications.  I have had employees who were like this and their communication style and skills just colored all of their relationships, from coworkers, to subordinates to superiors to customers.  With some of them, I can work with them to try and improve their communication and interpersonal skills.  With others, I can't.  I had someone like OP.  Rather than take comments constructively about what was appropriate and inappropriate, she got worse, mocked me behind my back including to customers.  Surprise, this got back to me and not only did it color people's impressions of her, but it also negatively affected our contract review as the conduct was very unprofessional and made others, including customers, uncomfortable.  It was easiest to just let her go rather than spend more resources trying to correct her was she didn't understand how badly she was reflecting on herself and the company.

OP, you are young and inexperienced.  I would recommend that you seriously reconsider your communication style.  Look for someone who is older who can mentor you in appropriate office decorum and communication before this happens to you again.  You need to leave the high school shenanigans, texting behind people's back, and inappropriate behavior for when you are outside the office.  You need to learn how to be more professional and treat coworkers with respect whether they are subordinate, equal or superior.[/quote]
