When Your Friend Becomes Your Boss?
I was hired to work under a new boss – but an old aquaintance – My friend! Though I want to separate professional and personal relations but in reality it is difficult to execute. Also deep down I don’t want my colleaugue to look as me as having “a cushion” to cover in difficult cases. Kindly share your thoughts and experiences, thank you!

Really like Pascal note on "Figure don't lie". Have a meeting with you friend - boss to openly share your thoughts (I'm sure he would highly appreciate this since he may have same concern), work out together on your working plan with transparent KPI, involve other team member often for non-work activities, so that they can be your friend and your boss's friend too... and finally, work hard to prove yourself . Good luck!

Having a boss who is also your friend could be absolutely ideal! Instead of seeing it as a potential conflict, see it as a gift that will make each work day more enjoyable - you could be stuck with a boss you can't stand. Don't create a problem or issue where there isn't one. Nip any feelings of awkwardness in the bud. Instead of negative future fantasizing, expect that your friend will do a good job and be fair to you and all of his subordinates. You like him and the higher ups like him which is why he got the promotion, right? So, let's expect that he's going to treat you fairly and do a great job.

I agree with Phuong Hoang, I encourage you to approach this situation as an opportunity to learn from someone you respect. Keep communicating, have an open mind, and while the faces of your work family will change, know that the camaraderie you feel is an important component of job satisfaction. Focus on your own professional development, and learn from those at all the levels around you, so that someday you can be the type of boss someone would also be proud to call a friend.

Friend as a boss will help you, but their true job is to protect the organization. Do not take your job for granted. It’s important to honor your end of the bargain, or expect them to reward your poor attitude by bestowing your job to someone who actually wants it, It's very important to draw boundaries. Unlike friendships or romances gone awry, you have no choice but to see your co-workers every single workday.
