We just set some rules because things were getting out of hand, and now she thinks we're taking advantage because "she's a girl". We set rules for employee and she's the only employee, so I can understand..
Now she says she doesn't feel the same working here, and she even told me "we are not friends anymore", and "I took you to meet my parents, and this is what I get".
I think she's just using all that as an excuse..
friends are friends and work is work.

We need to set things right for future growth..

It looks like you set the wrong tone from the start and are now trying to reel it in. Thats hard to do, its like a parent that allows a child run wild and then decides at 16 they are now going to rule with a iron fist.It doesnt work. The big question is : Is she doing her job?
If she is then I wouldn't fire her. I had a owner tell me the first rule in managing people is they aren't you. So you cant expect what you would expect from yourself,if you do you're going to be disappointed.
