Today, I found out that my best friend is being sacked. He's also about to rent a new apartment which he won't be able to afford when he loses his job. I can't warn him or I'll breach confidentiality and lose my job as well. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML
Today, upon applying for a new job to leave my old crappy job I was informed by my new potential employer that he was unable to hire me because he is friends with my current boss. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been cheating on me. I also found out that my best friend knew about it all along. When I confronted him, he tried to justify the betrayal by saying that she paid him to keep quiet. FML
Today, after moving in with a friend I've known for 9 years, I found out he's going to jail soon, and refuses to work or get a new job, making me unable to pay rent as he eats all my food. FML
Today, I found out that after three years of telling my boss our strategy wasn't going to work, that I was right - it didn't work. I also found out that because it didn't work, I lost my job. My boss still has his. FML
Today, I found out my best friend has been stealing hundreds of dollars from me and my fiancé. My wedding is tomorrow morning. Guess who my best man is. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, it's been five days since I started my new job in a new town, and just signed the lease on my new apartment too. Now I find out the company's closing down, and since I'm still on probation, I'm told I'm not entitled to any kind of severance. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Try your hardest to talk him out of the apartment maybe offer to let him move in with you.

Advise him not to get the apartment.

well, this is a hard choice. all i can tell you is that it's not an easy choice. to be lawful or good. i struggled with that many times, to be honest. for this situation, choose the Good side, unless you literally must need that job for some reason, and cant get fired or quit. (note: the Good option is the one you want. ;)

If he was truly your best friend, you would have already told him instead of whining on the internet about it.

You could tip him and tell him not to get it because he's gonna get fired. Then tell him to not tell anyone. After that give him a kiss on the cheek and whisper erect into his ear.

He's your best friend OP... Shouldn't that mean something more than your workplace? Consider whether or not he'd do the same for you.

Loyalty man. He's your best friend, you've got to warn him. Don't let his life get worse to save yourself.

I'd tell him anyway, just away from where anyone at your work would see.
