So, I went to a work party. A few of my co-workers couldn't come (Let's call them Jane and John). The party consisted of the vice-principal (VP), a daycare teacher (Lisa), Me, FI, a writing instructor (Kelly), two other teachers (Alex and Tom), and Tom's GF.
So, the VP announced to us all that the principal was planning to let go of John at the end of June. But, told us repeatedly throughout the night that it was a secret and then called us after the party to reiterate that Jane and John can't know. It is just so inappropriate that she told us.
I feel awful because I don't know if I should tell John or not. He is a friend of mine and has been having a rough time these past few months because of family issues. His father-in-law has had surgery, baby under a year old, wife hasn't been sleeping due to anxiety with her father, etc. But, on the other hand. If it comes back to me... who knows what happens.
So, the other weird part about this is that the VP said that the principal wants to hire Tom's GF as a full time teacher. Tom's GF wanted to celebrate and turn it into a "celebratory party" for her promotion. But for me and Alex, we can't be happy for her because John is getting pushed out.
John is a great teacher. He works hard and is always extremely friendly and an overall happy person. I'm at a loss. Do I tell him and ask him to keep my name out of it. Or do I just put my head down and ignore what's going on.
Note: I only plan on working this job until July 2017 when FI and I will be returning to the states. But, finding a job in my area proved to be difficult last time.
