As long as you didn't make them quit then there is no reason for you to feel bad.  Take advantage of the extra business!

If you do care for her feelings, but want to put the job behind you, you need to tell her honestly and bluntly, that because you are not working there, your time and resources need to be devoted to other things, such as getting a new job, (if you need one and haven't been hired by someone else already,) however, you might want to suggest she seek the aid of the IT people you mentioned. The way you handle this varies on your friendship with her. It will not be easy, particularly if you covered for her in the past. But in any case, you need to tell her she needs to handle these problems within the resources of the workplace, not through outside sources (you). If she is unable to fulfill those tasks, then she shouldn't be at that workplace, and should seek other employment.

Listen Fiona, You will find true friends if you ARE one...There are lots of people who will let you down and disappoint you, but there are many  good people out there too. The older you get, the better you will be at sorting them out.Hang in there kid!

Ending a friendship with a person is not an idea I agree with.  As a college student/ professional, I have had many, many, many people I do not like.  However, I have soldiered on through dealing with these people and, surprisingly, one of these people got me the job I am currently working.  \n\nThe moral of the story is you never know when you are going to have to deal with these people again and when you will need a favor from these people.  Plus, if you two go to school together, you risk her becoming angry and sabotaging/ talking about you, as well as shared friends becoming upset.\n\nStart calling her less and hang out with her less.  If she sits down next to you, don't ignore her or treat her rudely, but consciously look at her less and direct more of your conversation toward the other people with which you are sitting.  If she calls you, don't be rude, stay on the phone about 5-10 minutes, but then tell her you need to go.  Don't make excuses, just say, "I have to go," and say goodbye.\n\nIf she does confront you about the luke-warm (not cold) shoulder you've been giving her, simply tell her that you've been busy and you have some personal things going on (don't tell her that SHE'S the personal thing) and that having a slightly less close relationship is more comfortable for you.\n\nIt make take a bit of time, especially if she has only a few friends, but she will get the point eventually.  While coming straight out and telling her you don't want to be friends sounds nice now, you will probably regret it later in life, whether because it sabotages your career prospects or because you feel guilty about it (I certainly feel guilty about doing the same thing in my past).

well if your friends are truly friends then they shouldn't be bothered or laugh at you. If they do they are losers and get rid of them. Your condition is not something that you asked for nor is it your fault and you should know that. Bottom line is you don't have to disclose your situation until you are comfortable and when you do you shouldn't feel bad about it because its life and everyone has something or other that they either wished they didn't or they are not proud of make the best out of your situation and be happy that you are still here!

When I really think about it all of my bad days in work have been down to b) colleagues:\n\nAnnoying colleagues who drop you in it so you look bad and/or have to work overtime \nColleagues who make stupid or sexist remarks. \nManagers who take praise for your work and blame you when their own projects go wrong. \n\nThose things have caused me so much grief that I have felt sick at the thought of going in the next day. Normally I deal with it by quitting. More recently I have decided to raise these issues with management. That brings me on to my final point:\n\nMy bosses's perception of me even though he's never spoken to me or seen my work. This is important because this decides whether or not you are going to get a pay rise.\n\nSo bad colleagues affect everything on your list. Remove the annoying people and work would be great.

I'm assuming you are referring to personal info, not work related info. I've worked many jobs and the only thing I can tell you is that there is an "a**hole" at every company, no matter how much you like your job. As someone else said, just communicate with her regarding work related issues. You don't have to be best friends with the people that you work with, but sometimes you have to try to work with them as much as you hate them as a person. If you really can't stand it, find another job. Writing her a letter along with the rest of your coworkers is just going to cause more trouble. When I was younger, I used to let people like that bother me to the point that I would "tattle" on them. But in the end, I'm the one that suffered. Just do your job and only tell your personal business to people that you do not work with.

You should be happy with what you do.. you spend a good majority of your day at "work".  Personally I am in the process of replacing my "job" with a work at home program. (Not get rich quick... but a legit business that with time and committment... I will NEVER have to listen to another boss tell me what, when or HOW to do something).\n\nInterested in the possibility of changing the direction of your future and possible starting your own home business contact me through yahoo 360 or IM.

You should worry.  You are now an accessory.  Your coworker has just pulled you down with him.  He is not your friend.

i don't get bored with my friends but i do need some alone time sometimes and i just tell my friends that and they understand.  it's perfectly normal to not want to spend all your time with your friends

You can't demonize somebody . If they are not nice , just be glad you no longer work there . Find something else that makes you happy . Success is it's own reward . Forget about them . Are they really that important ?

This is what i do.. I call a friend up and tell her to call me later on in the day and ask me what i got done that day and i would do the same for her,  somehow it works, i guess because i don't want to tell her i did nothing .  Try it

The one I work for now is the best.  We get along great.  The worst I've had was at my last job.  She was backstabbing bitch and she talked about everybody then acted like their best friend to their faces.  She even talked trash about her best friend, the assistant manager.
