Ok. Here's the situation. Put yourself in this person's shoes;
YOU and a friend work together at the same company. In fact, you got your job because of her. She told you about the vacancy and also refered you to her boss. You two are pretty good friends in and out of work.
The boss asks you to come to his office; its important. You come in and find him with a serious expression on his face. He tells you that he is going to promote you and give you a raise. Your estatic. You've been working towards this goal for quite some time and you really need the money. Before you can accept he says 'The position your getting is your friend's current job and I'm planning to fire her'. He gives you an option but whether or not you take the job your friend will be fired at the end.
So, you either take the job, your friend gets fired, she's upset with you and you'll have to deal with the drama and possible loss of friendship. Or refuse, remain loyal to your friend, she gets fired, and you get passed up for the promotion which is given to someone else.
The boss tells you u have a week to make the decision and your not to tell your friend what he told you (this happened).
What would you do?
