had this lovely 30 minute call with the lady whose job is getting eliminated...she called me and offered to help with a project and was super sweet so if you need me, i'll be over here crying and feeling sad for her.

I'm glad you can cry at home and you're not at the office.

oh i know, having to face people in the office when you knew they were getting fired was hell. i used to hide from them.

you know you can get her contact info and maybe in the future you can chat about it after she's gone

or be her reference

i honestly would appreciate a heads up if my ass was getting walked out the door soon

she's getting fired? or she's getting laid off?

Position eliminated

Gogo ♔ : many companies have policies against that which could risk losing your own job for violating their policies. Not sure if her company has such policies, but it seems common these days.

Yes I could have lost my job if I told her. If we were super tight friends and I totally trusted her I might have but I don’t know her well enough for that.
