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

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

Sometimes you just gotta take risks, sometimes you don't, but no matter what, remember it isn't your fault

Quick call the realtor/landlord! Tell him your friend is about to be sacked! He won't want to rent the place and won't have told your friend.

Don't tell your friend directly that he's gonna get fired but tell him not to get the apartment. Tell him it's haunted or something. Last thing you want is you getting sacked for the breach.

What's more important? The right thing or protocol?

Friendship first. Tell your friend. If it were you, you'd want him to warn you. You can save him a lot of money and trouble, so don't be selfish, help him out, he will return the favour by keeping the secret.

Business ethics is a difficult thing. I am really sorry OP.

Create a fake email address, mail him the info from a non familiar place like at a coffee shop or something so the isp can't be tracked from the email and tell him. Problem solved.

I don't want to breach confidentiality or anything, so I'll just post it on a popular social media site.
