Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Some History:


So about a month ago, I was promoted to Night Shift Team Lead at a distributing company I work for. My coworker who I became good friends with while working here also interviewed for the position. He did *not* get the position, but I did. I NJ had voiced concern over there being hard feelings in a situation like this, but he assured me that wouldn't be the case. It most definitely *was* the case. He was an asshole for a solid week after the fact, but then finally realized himself and apologized for his behavior. Fast forward to the week of Thanksgiving when we were performing a warehouse wide inventory. Everyone was divided into 3 teams with a "Point Man" directing each team. I split "Point Man" duties with the current night shift manager as a part of my ongoing training, but my name wasnt explicitly announced during the dividing of teams, so my friend was under the impression that I was just another counter, and not a director. For three days, he would walk by and make snide comments, along the lines of "boy, you're working awful hard" and the like. Finally, about day 3 of inventory, I finally snapped and ask what his problem was, and he told me I had been goofing off instead of counting, when I told him that it was never my job to count, it was my job to delegate and direct with my night shift manager. He stated that since my name wasnt explicitly announced, that wasnt the case. So he flat out called me a liar, while also calling my work ethic into question, and that pissed me off. I chewed him out good, and told him I did exactly what my job was, that what I did at work was none of his business to begin with, and that I'm tired of his saltiness towards me since my promotion. Stated that I valued our friendship but that I'm tired of him always seeming to find reasons to hold me with contempt since my promotion and that if he wanted to destroy out friendship, then that's on him. He hasn't spoken to me in over a week.
