The best friend violated one of the fundamental rules of being a worker. They are:
1. Your employer is NEVER your friend. You might be friendly with them but they will replace you in a second so it's best to have the right mindset from the start.
2. Every important correspondence needs to be in writing. If you asked your boss in person whether you could take vacation days, follow up and have them confirm it in an email.
The friend violated rule 1 and in the end it won't have mattered once they get laid off.
