A few weeks ago we were going to do some type of update on our system at work. The tech working on the update (from the company we to hire support the system) messed up and imported the wrong data or something. I'm not clear on what exactly happened because I wasn't involved in this, but for some reason, a backup wasn't made and several people had to re-enter a lot of data.
Normally we're all very friendly and I consider her a friend, but now my co-worker is really pissed about it and is avoiding asking her to do any more work on the system. He also made some not so nice comments about her work. He's even avoiding talking to her during conference calls and when he does have to talk to her, he is being very short and kind of rude to her.
My co-worker is taking it too far. I can't think of any other time we've had a problem with her or anyone at the company.
She emailed and said she kind of knows that he is pissed at her, but she is asking questions about the extent and whatnot.
My gut reaction is to tell her I don't want to get involved, but like I said, I consider her a friend.
I don't want to get involved because it involves work. If I tell her what's going on and she brings it up to her co-workers or even my co-worker, I'm probably fucked. there's the hard place.
Since I do consider her a friend, I'd like to tell her so she doesn't get mad at me. So she is the rock...
If I do tell her I don't want to get involved, is there a way to do it so she won't get mad at me?
