23-year-old woman gives best friend-turned-slacker employee a bad performance review after they request favoritism in the workplace: ‘She FLIPPED OUT’

You know what they say: Never mix business and pleasure. You might end up with a bad performance review, or worse, being the reason your BFF gets put on the chopping block and eventually fired. Don't say that millions of people online didn't warn you—hiring your best friend to be your subordinate employee is probably the easiest way to end a friendship. Once you jump off the deep end into a mix of business and pleasure, you're in uncharted waters. There's no lifeguard to save you, no roadmap to get you to safety… You just have to hope that either one of you leaves for greener pastures. If not, you might end up like the two friends in this next story.

The woman who posted this story explains that her best friend really needed employment, so she decided to hire her as her subordinate. Now, there's nothing wrong with being friends with your coworkers, but it's another thing if your friend is reporting to you… Long story short, this friend is a slacker to the max, and this results in a poor performance review when the woman refuses to show her workplace favoritism.
