I work in retail and most of us are friends. So as we work we chat, so long as it doesn't interfere with our jobs. Well lately I was asked to train a new employee, she has been pulled into the office three times by HR. Apparently she's been told that if she continues to allow me to talk to her (outside of training) we could both lose our jobs. However, no one has said anything to me.
It seems to me that if I'm the one causing the problem that they would talk to me. Am I incorrect in assuming this?
Also before anyone suggests it, both of us usually finish our work well before the rest of the groups; and during cashier training we both kept a 90% speed rating for cranking out customers.
I just don't get it

How do you know that she's been told to not talk to you?
Could be other factors causing you a bad rep at work other than your cash register performance.
Why don't you ask your supervisor?

If you are a guy like your avatar, then with my instinct I would say someone is jealous about you and her. Maybe someone in the management doesn't like the fact that you and the girl are getting along nicely. In a work environment, a lot of times problems or issues have very little to do with the "norms" or "rules". Good performances or abilities alone are never enough to keep you from trouble. When I was a school teacher, I was reprimended/demoted for doing my job: I happened to have caught a kid looking into a teacher's records and this kid was one of the faculty members' son.

Maybe they see something in her that you don't see that makes her stick out like a soar thumb. It can also be that someone is feeding negative information about her to HR. Or someone from HR envy her so they decided to pick on her. The best thing to do is to stay away from each other till the karma dies's down, otherwise it's going to get worst.

Talk to your immediate supervisor about theproblem. It could also be that the girl is trying to put off any chance of you getting too involved, by telling you this.
