I am sort of friends with a higher up and they told me about some reshuffling that's about to happen in our company. This includes the firing of one employee. I am not very close to this person. We basically exchange good mornings each day and that's it. Should I warn them?
Pros:
- They can get a possible head start on finding a new job
- Screw big companies knowing they're going to fire someone and sitting on it
Cons:
- They might get mad at me for being the messanger
- Things could change and maybe they won't be fired
- They might rat me out for telling them and I could receive backlash
I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
