Anonymous Coward User ID: 51678654 United States 12/17/2013 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw him in the hall and he said it was because of what happened last week. few hours later he says on Facebook for me to make sure he isn't black balled. I said I think that has already happened. he said what do you mean? I said because they fired you. I said. no one has said anything except a company wide email saying he was let go. he now wants me to forward that email to his personal email assuming I would he said thanks already. so should I? I have reservations sending him anything even that because he is no longer employed with the company. Quoting: digitalmonkey I considered him a friend. however I don't want to loose my job over it. any ideas what he would want with this email? later my boss asked me if he was going to cause trouble being let go I answered I have no idea. i feel stuck in the middle. loyalty to my employer is More important that this friend that's already let go. he has been fired several times and they hire him back so there is a chance they may find a spot for him. should I just tell him that I can't send it ? what reason do I give? so these Idiots keep firing him and then "re-hiring" him, what kinda place do you work at OP?? |

Quoting: digitalmonkey i dont know about legally but im guessing its easy for them to let people go. so being on their bad radar wouldnt be a good idea. also if he were to use that e-mail for anything (and why else would he want it?) it will say he received it from you... |

(OP) User ID: 36339725 United States 12/17/2013 07:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | they monitor emails so sending it direct could be traced and printing is also logged. so if they care enough to look they could see I sent it to him. since they sent it to about 50 people anyone could share. i was his closest co worker. it would be obvious if that shit hit some fan that I gave it to him. so I think I need to just tell him I can't.

User ID: 48822420 United States 12/17/2013 07:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have already stated that you feel loyalty to your employer. Stay true to yourself. If he is indeed your "friend", then he should understand why you do not feel comfortable forwarding the email to him. It is not in your best interest to compromise yourself when you aren't sure it's the right thing to do. Stay true to yourself. Look out for your best interest. Forwarding the email does not sound like it is in your best interest to do so. Trust your gut instincts. It bothers you, so don't do it. Last Edited by Ethelbert on 12/17/2013 07:36 PM |
