I hate it when people tell me things..

My boss told me today that they will be letting my assistant go. He had extended out her temp assignment as much as possible, but they will be posting an opening for her position next week.

I am not supposed to tell her, which would be fine, except she is my son's girlfriend and she lives with me. I want to tell her so that she can start applying to jobs as soon as possible, but my son said it could hurt my own job.

Which then made me wonder if this is happening because I got the job I applied for or if they are going to sack me too. Lol

I guess I should have asked.

A very difficult to position to be in. I wonder why they felt the need to tell you in the first place? If it's confidential, it's confidential.

@FreddieUK Yeah, I don't know either. It was weird, but I think he was worried that I would think he had made the decision when it was made above him, as he said several times he wasn't the bad guy in this case. I know he hates having to fire anyone, so I'm assuming that he was upset about it as well, but wanted to let me know he had tried to keep her.
