F/U to manager's question ... looks like she's quitting

So, this is awesome. She's asked to speak to my boss about maternity leave. She hasn't spoken or looked at me in 2 days. I'm guessing that she's outie.
At least she did it before her leave so I can find a replacement! Also, I know me, and I know this is going to destroy the friendship. Awesome.
Boo hoo all around.

If that's the case, I am glad she's letting all of you know before she goes out on maternity leave.
If she's letting everyone know now, why would you be mad at her or think your friendship will be over? You surely can find a replacement before you go out and probably a long time before she would even be back from leave.
See my post from yesterday. I work with a woman who is due in about a week. She and I have been very close friends for a while (before she started working for me) and her husband and my husband are basically best friends (and we all work in the same place).
Friend/worker has been coming in late, leaving early, taking long lunches, hubby has been spending waaaay too much time in her office, etc. Her behavior is showing me that she is not coming back after maternity leave - and I was wondering if I/should I talk to her about her not coming back due to her completely inappropriate/unprofessional behavior.
BTW, she still isn't in the office yet today but didn't bother to call to tell me she'd be late. I called to find out if she was in labor - nope, just still in bed!
Anyway, if she wasn't planning on coming back after maternity leave, I would hope that she would tell me BEFORE going out instead of pretending she was coming back and then telling me that she wasn't coming back at the end of her maternity leave. Felt like it is more personal considering our relationship and our hubby's relationships.
Now, she's requested to meet with my boss about her leave, and I have the feeling that means she's planning on heading out.
I think that had she not been sooo late and pulling all this other unprofessional stuff, I wouldn't be so upset. But, now she's taking complete advantage and doesn't care that work (her work) needs to get done somehow, by someone, and that her coworkers need to be in the loop with her plans.
Venting now. And just dissapointed and sad.
