“I need to stop giving her rides on my days off”

My coworker took my kindness for granted and implied I'd always pick her up, hurting my feelings

What I wish I knew
"Her behavior was manipulative and I should've set boundaries sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate your boundaries clearly and be prepared to reevaluate your kindness"
