Earlier, it was noted that you might be in the position where your firm is contemplating a layoff, though employees are not aware. it will be a targeted layoff, and a close friend, who recently went through a divorce and is struggling financially, might be laid off. that individual has been offered a job with a competitor - but only wants to take it if her job is in jeopardy. as the controller, you are aware of the impending layoff and who might be targeted - and it is possible your friend is on the list for layoffs. the news of the layoff is considered to be highly confidential and it must be timed just right. your friend tells you about the job offer and asks what she should do. how do you answer? what personal and professional issues would you weigh? what are the risks professionally and personally?

    This is a risk-reward situation. If you are more about morality and ethics you could tell her before hand, but risk your job at hand. Or you could keep to yourself for your own best. I would suggest her the job without including the layoff, as it keeps you under safe ground and if she takes the other job, automatically removes one potential person to be laid off. This would increase your chances of keeping your job rather than being fired or laid off. The risks professionally would be your own job at risk, and personally your own morals/ethics.
