should i tell him?
two situations...tell me what ya think
1. me and my bud are sittin outside havin a few drinks last night talkin about stuff and he tells me he wants to dump his girl...i tell him to do it cause you only live once and who needs to be with someone that makes you unhappy....we yak about a few more things and he tells me hes gonna call her and do it ...so i say goodnight and go in...i come outside this morning and his charger is all ****ed up cause someone keyed the hell out of it....should i go tell him or let him find it on his own when he gets up?
2. my number one buddy at work is on vacation in california and while hes gone my boss goes through his case list and then my boss tells us my bud is gettin booted when he comes back cause his work is beyond shitty...do i call him in cali and tell him or let him finish out his vacation stress free?

I know everyone is saying dont tell the dude on vacation, but vacations are expencive and he is losing his job.
if you tell him he might be a bit more careful with his spending so he isnt completly ****ed when he gets home.
i would be furious if my friend diddnt tell me.

glad jack said that cause thats been rollin through my mind...ya know...hes in california, lovin life, probably spendin like the moneys burnin in his pocket...and in reality hes not gonna be able to make it up in overtime...thats the only thing...theres something to be said for blissful ignorance too...let him and his wife enjoy a few more carefree days before things get tight...hmmm...but then i know i would wanna know from my buddy if it were me.....yeah...thats the dilemna...make him stop smiling immediately or make him stop smiling later......
as for the charger...i saw him come outside...he looked at it...and he went back in the house...so i dont know where his head is at on that yet...i guess he could sue her...but if noone saw it that wouldnt go far...

you know your friend and his potential financial security and or collapse better than anyone here. If yer boss saw his work and decided to fire him because he isnt very good at what he does, well, he might not be the best financial planner either and may not have anything saved up.
being without a job aint easy, bills have to be paid, and he might be better off leaving those 8 dollar fruity drinks alone and maybe buying a burger instead of the steak.
whatever yer gut instinct was is probably the correct one.
If it were me i would tell him. He is still on vacation, he will still have some fun, and **** he might stay an extra few days since he doesnet have to worry about being home on time. But at least he will have some form of control over his financial situation by having the facts rather than blowing the limited amount of cash he still has.
think of it this way. If you and him were reversed, would you be pissed that he never mentioned to tell you that your income has ended while yer out there buying rounds of shots for yer friends?

The first, though the situation has already panned out, I would have woken his azz up.
As for the man on vacation, I would call him and break it to him. Just tell him what the boss told you, it looks like your going to be shitbagged.

The dude with the keyed up charger can let the insurance handle that. If he can prove th GF did it then that will help.
The dude on Vac. with the crappy job performance "should" already know he is on thin ice. Tell him what your boss told everyone. He may be able to salvage something if he's warned early. Plus,... the boss should not have said that in front of his co-workers. There may be an ethical issue there in itself.. Give him some ammo to work with. Plus it will give him some time to think about it before it hits him all at once. Information is good..

Law
I'm pretty sure that it is against the law for anyone in management to talk about others(general employees not in managment) work performance and job security with others in the work place before they tell the person themselves. Da MAN might have somthing to say about that. Thats why most places tell the person getting fired that got the axe and to get their belongings right then and they have to leave the site.

but as for the buddy in cali, I'd tell him.. cos hes gonna be screwed when he gets back/
