Lol guy calm down... I understand that kind of feeling but it doesn't matter. You guys are best friends it doesn't matter who the boss is... If you're not comfortable with it you can look for job somewhere with better pay. Don't let that stop your friendship okay
He can even help you put in good words. That's just pure grace
Don't jealous or envy

He came for interview today, got the job today and started introducing policies today. When u want to make a fictious writeup, extra care is needed.

Why would be jealous of your friend? I mean a win for your friend is a win for you.

My friend (brother) of 12 years just hit some big contract and has made some mad millions. The sudden surge adds nothing to my life financially as I'm not looking to gain anything. None of us has ever been a parasite to the other. But I'm genuinely happy for my friend and proud of him.

His success is enough motivation for the rest of us to sit tight.

My man, some of us have also been through similar experiences probably not exactly the same and we coped well. Why? Only because God's time is best, He knows when to lift one up and bring the other low despite putting in one's best. Your turn shall come provided you remain diligent and focused on the right things. This might help you.
A few years ago 2 of my colleagues and I were on the same rank but I was their senior by virtue of entry point and promotion. We went for the next promotion interview together and they scaled through while I didn't. One of them asked that I should be preparing memos for him which I politely declined while I was instructed to be reporting to the other one. The powers that be expected me to react negatively or leave for some other schedule but I did neither. I chose to eat humble pie and so I can advise you and others facing such indignities today with candor. Do not get yourself pushed out of a job because of the way you feel. Think man!

Hello guys~ my best friend and I live together in the same neighborhood.

I introduce him to were I was working at the moment because he was seriously in need of a job...

Though! He had a job he was doing but the money they are paying him is just token, so when he came for an interview today.

He passed the prescription test that was given to him, and he was made the assistant Boss and I have been working there for long without been given dis offer.

Being his first time of working with us he has started giving out policy in which I don't like, he's trying to change the system for us making it unbearable for us to cope. And to crown it all, his salary his x2 higher than mine and we both have same qualification.

So am thinking of going to my Boss to lunch complain maybe to ask him to renew my contract.

What do you all think about my step....

Should I still go on with it?

You can reach out to your boss but don't make it like a complain. Instead start by congratulating/commending/complimenting him on the successful recruitment process and then tell him that should a position that will challenge your skill and ability above what you are doing now comes up, you would appreciate it if you are offered the opportunity to prove yourself.
Don't sound pained, just sound excited and expect and for your hopeful upcoming challenge.
As for your friend, be happy for him, work with him and try not to put a wedge between the two of you. Even this experience should be seen as a blessing in disguise. Learn whatever you need to learn from it
Ie
*were you skipped because you did not show a zeal for more challenges on the job?
*Are you challenged health and physical wise?
*Were you too hard to handle? As in were you rude and arrogant to co workers?
*Did he upgrade his CV with certifications and skills you do not possess? Etc etc
Learn, improve on yourself and do better

At this point, it's perfectly normal to be jealous.

You are human after all. Go ahead and talk about your contract renewal. It's your right.

This is how it all starts, all you are waiting for is a wicked advise to execute the underlying evil. Someone will convince you of that evil, and boom, they will even assist you by taking you to the spiritualist that will assist you. Evil was not born in a day, it's a gradual thought that manifest into obsession, and then executed. If you don't deal with it right away, you will find yourself sleeping over the matter until you are convinced your friend has taken your success/position/destiny etc at that point, you can't go back on it. Please forget all about it now and focus on your own growth, Life na turn by turn and luck in life differs, so is your clock.

First of all don't get jealous pls. Are his decision in the interest of the company and what is ur boss saying about it. Don't take as a bad rival if he chooses to boss you wrongly,but as ur step-up to bigger thimgs, is he the pride type cos they say you don't ur friend until he/she has money or not. But if he chooses to make life difficult for you look for a better place, but get one first b4 you leave. But pls don't get JEALOUS cos it may lead you into Evil. Cos it happened to me.God bless you

Where u expecting him to get a lower position??

Well he's ur friend u can advice him on his controversial work policy.

as per the salary stuff u can discuss that with ur boss without belittling ur friend.
Re: How Do You Feel When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss by maestroferddi: 2:42pm On Sep 20, 2022
Sounds like fiction writing...

Your friend who was earning less than you being given two times your salary and being made something like a team or departmental lead while boasting of the same qualification with you?

Which HR persons did this? Maybe there are other extenuating circumstances you didnt disclose...

I am not saying it is not possible...it just looks improbable.

Re: How Do You Feel When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss by Moneyyman: 3:02pm On Sep 20, 2022
This is how the spirit of jealousy and evil begins. Soon, it will tempt you to kill your friend over the issue that should not be there.

Avoid that now by removing all thoughts from your mind. Na devil dey knock so; don't give him a chance to come in.

Allow him do his work and you do yours. You only feel the policies are not good because he's the one giving them. Allow him!

If it works, you all benefit. If it doesn't, the policy will be reversed.


I sound it again, this is the spirit of jealousy coming. Don't let it enter oooo!
