To think my friend was out of order for going behind my back to my manager instead of talking to me directly?

Something happened at work - a friend (or so I thought) raised a “concern” about me to our manager instead of just coming to me directly. It wasn’t anything serious, just something she thought I’d said in a meeting that she found “inappropriate.” We’ve known each other for years, so I’m shocked she didn’t just message me or talk it out. It now feels like a betrayal. AIBU to be upset and feel like she threw me under the bus?

Surely it depends on what you said, and what type of ‘concern’ she raised. Was she concerned about you/your wellbeing, was she concerned about your standard of work, was she concerned about you stealing from the company?

It’s hard to give an answer when we don’t know the context.

She is not your friend. At least now you know that.
