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.

As an HR person I sympathize. Here's what you do. Start a conversation with him talking about how worried you are that you are going to lose your job because of cutbacks and that no one is safe. Then ask him what his backup plan is because you need ideas. He will either a) get the hint or b) you'll get to hear his backup plan which may be really good. GOOD LUCK

If that's your best friend, he won't say you told him and you should be willing to take the risk for a best friend

I would warn him. I'm speaking for myself, even if I lost my job, I'd tell him. But that's just the person I am. I hope everything works out for everyone, OP.

You didn't hear it from me, but a lil bird told someone that someone else should not be so hasty with large extravagant upgrades in life since the future is do unpredictable.

Friends would talk him out in buying a new apartment. Best friends would encourage hit to buy a boat as well

Dude, yeah, just tell him. Al that needs to happen is that he NOT sign the ease on this apartment. You trust him not to let on that he knew about being fired right? I don't think your company would be "curses! he was supposed to SUFFER after being fired!" haha
