You and your wife socialize with Jim and his wife quite regularly. He and his wife are about to close on a new home next Monday. You know that this will impact their ability to buy that home. They are expecting their second child in about 3 months. You also know that Jim is quite emotional and if he knew about htis layoff he would confront his boss about it as soon as he found out. You also know that if your friend learns that you knew about his being laid off and did not make him aware of the situation you could lose a very good friend.
