If you've been privy to highly confidential information that you've been sworn to secrecy about, but know is going to affect the employment of a close friend of 27 years. What do you do? Abide by the sworn oath, or tell your friend in confidence?
Dilemma
- Thread starter Moomalade
- Start date
I think my friend would appreciate the news, and would be able to use it to plan in advance moves to mitigate the affect. They can be trusted.
But I'd be betraying the trust of another friend with this highly privileged information.
Possibly, if I make moves and they do not.
No, we are in separate areas
Because I just happen to be close friends with someone on the inside who has access to this info, and they are looking out for me. Ironically, they were also sworn to secrecy, so maybe I can break the oath as well.
Yeah, that's the way I'm leaning, just wanted to canvas some anonymous opinions, thanks for the feedback
I think you're getting the impression I'm talking about a redundancy list, it's a bit bigger than that, and when the **** goes down it won't matter who knows.
Last time I checked my real name is not Moomalade. Can you figure out who I am and where I work?
Yeah, agreed. Some things are just more important. It's been interesting getting this sort of high level insight. It's good to be able to affect change without being caught behind the curve.
Thanks everybody for the advice!
