Today, I found out that my best friend is being sacked. He's also about to rent a new apartment which he won't be able to afford when he loses his job. I can't warn him or I'll breach confidentiality and lose my job as well. FML

Try your hardest to talk him out of the apartment maybe offer to let him move in with you.

Show him that episode of FRIENDS where Joey gets fired from Days of Our Lives and then question what he would do if that were him?

if it's your best friend I'm sure he wouldn't rat you out or anything. especially if you tell him your own job is in jeopardy for saying it. I, personally, would find a way to let them know so on his work record it shows he quit rather than got fired

If you get fired, you can get severance pay and file for unemployment, but, if you quit, you get nothing.

I know I might sound stupid, but you should tell him, but when you tell him, tell him it slowly, and you are telling him this for your friendship. You might want to break it to him carefully, so he doesn't get angry with you (but if he really is your best friend, then I doubt he will and he most likely will understand) and invite him to your place. I know the job is important, but your friendship is too, and if he finds out that you didn't tell him when you knew, that would probably crush your friendship. No pressure OP, but whatever choice you choose, it's your choice. Good luck!

Just advise him against renting the apartment! Put yourself in his shoes and think how you would feel if he had that info all along. And think how you will feel after he is sacked and starts financially struggling to keep the apartment. I'm sure if you explain it to him the right way, he will understand that you are taking a huge risk for your friendship's sake.

If he's your best friend, approach him and convince him not to loan it and tell him he really needs to just trust you. Technically you wouldn't be breaching confidentiality. Hopefully that might work.

You must know what a breach of confidentiality could do to someone's career.

Just don't let your boss or whoever find out?

Damn why don't you write it down as a subliminal somewhere and then deny it was you. Like find something in a book and highlight it and leave it open on his desk at his home or something so it's impossible to trace lol
