NSOR Work vent (long)
So, when I put in my notice, my company finally decided that they wanted to transfer me. Seemed like a good idea, and I thought I could keep the account that I've been working on since 2004. Fast forward to yesterday. They are still talking about keeping me on the account, but apparently they want to boot my coworker off and move the entire account with me. I had NO idea they were going to take her off...I assumed that we would both still be working on it, just from different locations. That's what sales and I talked about. Well, that's not what they decided. And I have no clue HOW our boss told my coworker, but she was really, really upset. Did I mention that she's also one of my best friends? Well, she won't look at me, or speak to me. And she ended her turnover email last night with "but what do I know?" which she never does. So now I just feel sick. I think I know why they made the decision to move the account...said person is in school to go to a totally different profession, so everyone knows she doesn't plan to stay here forever. Plus there are some other politics in the office that make it very difficult too keep the account here. But I just feel terrible that she was so upset, and I don't know what to do about it. This is why I like working with men...they don't get emotional. I know I get emotional, but it's easier when I'm the only one. And it's easier to be mad at men as opposed to feeling terrible. Sigh.
That got pretty long. Any thoughts or advice? I tried to IM her yesterday (before I knew what all was going on) and told her that I didn't know what was said but that I knew she was upset and I was here if she wanted to talk. She didn't respond, and wouldn't even look at me.

Honestly, she sounds like she's being a little immature. She is probably just in shock and needs a little time to process what happened. I think you've done all you can for now.
Thanks. I just feel terrible on a personal level. On a business level, it's the best decision and makes sense. Personally, one of my best friends is upset, partly based on a decision I made (to move), and I can't do anything about it.
