Very curious!!!
So, I got the text this am saying I got the job, needless to say,I was soooooo psyched!!!! Now,here's the question,and I want your TRUE opinion! I got the job at AC Moore Arts and crafts......but,my good friend IS going to be my manager and boss!! She already told the top guy of the company that we were friends,and it was cool,all good. How do you think that'll affect our relationship....if at all?! My bud was like"I'm not gonna treat you like just an employee,I'll be how we are when just hangin out,but with a hey Jen,would you please do this or that?" Has anyone ever worked a job where their good friend was their boss or manager??
I was a GM for 4years I started at the bottom with several of my friends if no on else. Understands you your friend should all work no play during business hours you have a job to do as well as your friend it gets no honest than that
Behave as a employee in the time of business & don't take anything personally whatever your friend say to you. And behave as a friend outside of business.but if u think it will be difficult for u then don't join there .find another job if you don't want to break up your friendship.
this could be an strained situation for both of you. Its a fine line between being a friend and a boss. If you treat the job like you would any other job, don't be late, do not ask for favors , don't expect to get away with anything because she is your friend you will be fine, and if she treats you exactly like she treats the other employees You can both make it work.
All I can say is keep it professional. Do your job and let the friendship be friendship after work it's the safest thing to do.
No
If you take the job, work the job as an employee respect the manager (your friend) as the manager and do your job as outlined
The job is just that! Job! Be prepared to work, as far as your friend, if she is willing to treat you differently than she does others, I would seriously question her supervisory skills! If she is willing to make statements to you that would compromise the integrity she is responsible to uphold, I am not willing to give any assurance that she would have her word trusted any differently if push come to shove, you would be the loser here!

Hey Jennifer...if you are able to separate your social life with work then working with your friend as your boss will not be difficult...never take anything that she says to you at work personal, it’s all about work...
Be careful your friendship can take a toll, remember friends are out-side of work, people are different at work, and you need to respect that, you need to understand that.
