What's special about tonight?
This is blood. Do it.
A while back I got a family member a job at the company I work for. I was told today that he's being fired tomorrow. He hasn't received any warnings from his boss from what I understand but they are just not happy with his performance.
His boss is a ing asshole by the way.
Anyway, they're going to tell him tomorrow and then just hope he comes in and gets his done on Friday and then send him packing.
While hearing this news was like seven or eight punches to the stomach in a row, I'm debating now do I call him tonight and tell him.
He's an excellent person and I think he'd rather hear it from me first, but then again, it would just serve to ruin tonight for him so who the knows?
Should I call and tell him?

I would say no, because there's always a possibility of you getting ed over in some way for telling him before the people who made the decision do.
I would say this is what I have heard I do not want you to be mad at me. I hope they change their mind.
at least he can start looking for something else now instead of next week.
Good point, that.
Give him one more night with out worry.
Tell him tonight and then take him out for drinks and hookers on you.
Go Office Space on those MF'ers. Remember when they fired Micheal Bolton and Samir?
amen.
plus you come out looking like later should he ever discover you knew and didn;t tell him.
"There comes a place in a man's life and, uh,
maybe that time for you is now,
when it doesn't hurt to think about the future."
THIS IS A TEST........
can your bosses tell you some without you going out a spreading the all over ?
you ed if you tell before time...... it's not your place to break the news
Absolutely.This is blood. Do it.
It sounds like your bosses told you as a courtesy. Since they didn't give you permission to tell your relative, I would assume they don't want you to.
You can still tell your relative of course, but be aware speaking out of turn could cause problems for you later.
Make the decision that you feel the best about.
wtf do you all get yourselves into?
bosses don't own you, they don't give you permission to do . Remember that. If they tell you something without a disclaimer like keep this on the down low, this is confidential etc., then guess what........ it's public knowledge.
I would tell him if he were my relative, , I would've called him immediately.
Some of you need to learn that work is biz and biz is biz. If you are owned by an employer, you need to start looking for something else and wake up.
You go to work and you do what is required and a little more, don't volunteer for , mind your own business and force your supervisor to communicate. initiative. As soon as you start taking the initiative, they will you on your paycheck daily.
The best way to get a raise is to resign or get a new job. em. I hate when people let their employers dictate their actions.. that.
Love the variety of opinion here... a true cross-section of humanity.
Personally, I have no opinion right now...
right on!

Sequ has a solid point of view and I agree with him.
That's a very realistic at ude, but unfortunately many peoplecan't take an at ude like that because they desperately need the job.
A similar thing happened to me many years ago, and although my relative didn't get fired and I eventually moved out of state, it was very uncomfortable. I had to listen to much complaining and gossip about my cousin which felt strange. When I finally told everyone to f*ck off and leave me out of it, I lost several good friends and relationships. What did I learn? Don't help relatives get jobs where I work!
Anyway, I think you need to be honest with your relative.
Getting people jobs is a risky business. I have only done so a couple of times and considered seriously before doing so.
I am very careful about whom I recommend because I want my bosses to continue to know they can trust my opinion on important matters.
An absolute rule I have: once introductions have been made, my part is over.
It is my boss' decision whether or not to hire the person; it is my friend's responsibility to be impressive and advance from there.
I don't discuss work problems with co workers, especially if it concerns a superior. That is how words are twisted and rumors are started.
I also don't discuss co worker problems with a boss without having first tried to resolve the issue privately with a co-worker.
And finally, I treat everything other than the most basic of conversation, I.E. weather or sports scores, to be confidential.
This reduces confusion and prevents me from accidentally revealing something a co- worker did not want generally known.
These are practices that have worked well for me, but, as illustrated in the thread, everyone has their own way of doing things.
Again, make the decision that you feel best about.
hey can you get me a jobhahaha just kidding.
I'll need to see your resume. Or if you don't have one handy, a "My Space" account will work.hey can you get me a job
