'My life fell apart due to one screenshot' : Employee and bestie with CEO loses job and friendship all due to one regretful group text message

Everyone always thinks, "oh it would be so nice to work with my besties!" But those who have been through that before know the potential disaster that it can become. You have to realize that just because you are working with a group of friends, doesn't mean there isn't going to be a hierarchy, and if you're friend group can't handle that workplace culture, it is most likely going to fall apart—both the business and the friendship…

That is exactly what happened to one recent Reddit poster. She was besties with the CEO of a company that she worked for and when her bestie had to step away from the office for a mental health emergency, she tried to step back from the work position and more into the friend position. She reached out to her multiple times trying to offer help, but she has her own issues as well.

Eventually, the state of the company the CEO left it in started to become unavoidable and she had to get her to come back to sort it out or else the company would be finished. So the CEO/ the Reddit poster's bestie returned. However, the CEO completely threw her friend/employee under the bus. She said nobody ever came to help her during her crisis and that her employee here (her alleged bestie) forced her to return.

The poster was hurt and texted her bestie later that evening trying to talk about what happened, but it did not go well. The bestie/CEO turned even more on her and was mean and spiteful towards her. It was so upsetting, that the poster became concerned—so she took a screenshot of the conversation and sent it to an employee group chat in hopes they would all come together to help the CEO. Instead, the bestie/CEO found out and all heII broke loss.

Now, the company has been dissolved, the Reddit poster has lost her job and her best friend. She turned to Reddit to just get the story off of her chest, but Redditors are siding with her and helping her see that the CEO was a bad BFF AND bad business woman. Read the entire situation below!
