My supervisor and I have become really close friends -- so much so that it hurts when she gives me criticism on the job. How do I separate my work life from my social life?

Hi, I know I would be in the same situation to you if I become a close friend to my boss, that's why I always keep a certain distance to my superiors.

But I think there's no friends in work, only team players. I mean during your private time, you and your supervisor may be close friends, during working time, you are good team players, and when you do something wrong, he criticise you is common because he is leader. Just know that he is not criticise you deliberately, he is criticise about what you have done...

Good luck!

Her criticism is for your good.  No doubet that true friends will point out your fault.

you have to separate the relationship between work and life.you have to keep a distance on the work with her and respect what she told to u.And something you can't say so frankly.After work ,you can become her close firend and say what you want to say to her. all above is my  personal opinion for you reference.

Don't combine your work and your social life, haha!

Hi,

I read your problem. Well there is nothing wrong being buddies with your boss or co workers. But at work, you have to accept criticism if you know that what you did was wrong or could have been better.

That is why there is professionalism in the workplace. What happens at work stays at work. When you both go out of the office that is a differnt story.

So, do not mix what happens at work when you go out and vice versa. It goes with the job and if you are able to do that, you will not get into trouble.

Dear Ivyy,

How are you!

I know you would not feel good when your superior criticize you. But keep in mind: be strict to your work.

If you are doing wrong or not so better as expected,  it would be common that  your superior criticize you ' cause the superior should be responsible for their followers and theri work.

  In my personal experience,  we can get the lesson and learn more from the critical speaking.

Therefore, pls calm down when you are facing the similar situation again.

Best wishes!

 

 

 

She has to be this way in order to keep control of the other you work with.  If not they believe you are being shown favoritism.  If you are really good friends, find a new job doing the same thing.  And continue.  Now is work before pleasure.   Quoting from [ivyy]:
