I worked for a partnership that desloved. I stood with the partner who is so dis-orgainzed and my co-worker, Sally (who is my best friend) went with the other partner (who is Sally's uncle). She was fired because she felt she could come in and out of the office since she worked for her uncle. Unfortunalty, she has very bad work ethics. The very next day her uncle invited me to lunch and asked me to go work for him. He is willing to give me a big raise and more benifits. When I told her she started crying. She see it as she did nothing wrong. Should I leave? Should I feel bad for her? How should I be around her now?

TAKE THE JOB CAUSE BESIDES PROBLEMS WITH HER YOU STILL HAVE TO EAT. I WOULD TRY TO EXPLAIN TO HER THAT ITS NOT PERSONAL BUT BUSINESS. HELP HER FIND ANOTHER JOB STICK BY HER AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE WELL FORGOTTEN. AND IT WON'T HURT TO GET HER A NICE GIFT TO SHOW NO HARD FEELINGS.

It was kind of a bad mistake you told her. But, because you did, you may want to tell her that she shouldn't really take advantage of the fact that she worked for her uncle. She should work as if he wasn't her uncle.
You shouldn't leave the job. After all, if you have great work ethic, you shouldn't have to bring yourself down, too. She made a mistake, but you shouldn't have to give it up because you feel bad about it. If you want, help her find another job. That might help her feel better.

I would take the job. tell her its nothing personal. She should look at it as a professional point of view, not as friends. Ask her, if it was the other way around, would she have done the same thing?

if you value your friendship more then the job, then I think you made a mistake when you told her about the offer and you should not take it. if you take it, then she will probably resent you - even though you did not steal her job, she will feel like you did.
on the other hand, she needs to grow up and take her job more seriously. perhaps you could help her with that.

I would take the offer and explain to her that accepting the position has nothing to do with your friendship. She should not feel bad because she took her position for granted.
Go and accept it. She had her chance and blew it.
