AITA for not telling people to look for work?

I’m a consultant, and part of my job is to go in and survey existing spaces when a new tenant is coming into the space. Lately the spaces I’ve been surveying all have existing stores or offices in them, some even have “now hiring” signs on the doors. AITA for not telling these people they should be looking for work? They’re all going to get fired in the next few weeks and they have no idea. The companies don’t give a crap about these people, but I could lose my job if it’s found out I told them.

Welp. I’m romanticizing quitting my job again

Anyone else have those days/weeks/months where you can’t stop daydreaming at work about quitting and starting a new life? The past few weeks I’ve been applying for new jobs nonstop (hoping for more money and remote work) and every time I’m AT work, I spend a lot of time romanticizing this vision of me quitting and just…doing something else. It happens anytime a coworker annoys me or anytime some new change comes from management. I guess it’s a way to escape. It’s kind of frustrating, though, because while it’s nice to hope and dream, when I get rejection emails from the jobs I apply to, it adds to my annoyance and ruins the rest of the day. Not really looking for any advice. Just wanted to share and see if anyone else is living in daydream land while they work.

What a joke

So my friend who is a male in his 20’s recently got fired from a valet job at a nice resort for simply telling a fellow grown male coworker who is easily 35+ to “shut the fuck up” and that is all. One profanity used, no prior write-ups or offenses, just one grown man telling another to “shut the fuck up.” To me that seems like the absolute weakest reason to fire someone ever. I’m no genius but I’m pretty sure far worse has been said/done at a work place and not one disciplinary action has taken place. I mean what a joke of an organization am I right?

Reading a book by Wendell Berry from 2000 which is scarily accurate in predicting the total shit show we now find ourselves in. Thought it was worth sharing. Does it resonate with you too?
