Jessicat98 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 This guy from work likes me (He really opened up to me from his heart) I feel bad as I let him down, he would say sweet things he would buy me things. I had to stay over night in hospital he was the only one who came to see me. He even picked up my medication for me. He helped me get off the smoking/drug habit he also got me a job there. I asked him to take me to the xmas party (I cancelled on him) I told him i was sick but i went around a friends house and had the drugs. He found out and said he is disappointed so I reported him to his boss who told him not to talk to me. So i reported him for not talking to me he just avoids me. Link to post Share on other sites

Tread careful with someone who got you a job. Do you have a BF outside of work? Link to post Share on other sites
MsJayne Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Hmm, you did the wrong thing. You can't expect people to do the right thing by you if you don't do the right thing by them. Perhaps you should just learn from the experience and look for another job and treat co-workers with respect, especially if they're people who show kindness towards you.

basil67 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 You need to tell the boss you lied and apologise for the trouble you caused. Then you need to tell your friend that you fixed it with the boss and apologise to him as well. Not just “I’m Sorry”, but a thoughtful apology. I’m surprised that you had to ask how to make things right 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No I don’t have a BF. The guy wrote me a nice letter which I showed to my colleagues and all the nice messages. Which I regret as colleagues are gossiping. Link to post Share on other sites

Lotsgoingon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Your first and only priority is to get off drugs and smoking. You cannot have a relationship with those habits-addictions--if I'm reading you correctly. Focus there and then you can actually carry through on apologies and follow through on promises. And then you can talk to him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve lost a decent man through my silliness the day after we were supposed to go to the party I messaged him asking how was his weekend.

You've caused too much drama. Don't do that on a new job. Keep to yourself and just do your work. This guy is no longer interested in you so forget about an apology. Just make things right with his boss. Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t make things right though. If I tell his boss he still has the mark on his file. They can’t take the mark off his file they can’t give him his bonus because of the mark on his file.
