Long post but please read and help !
My friend is currently very upset with me and I want to hear your opinion on this. Part me feel that I was wrong but part me feel like I didn’t do anything wrong.
There’s 4 people ( including myself) involved in this story and all 4 of us work for the same company.
A is a banker
B is a loan officer
A and B work at the same office.
C is also a loan officer but works at a diff office. C is the friend that is upset with me .
One day A called me and asked how is C doing at her office as far as performance wise. I said I’m not 100% sure but I think she’s doing well, why? A said because she overheard B on the phone with management saying that C is at a good office but not utilizing the full potential at that office. I got upset and asked A if I can tell C all this . A said no i have to swear to her that I won’t say anything to C and won’t mention any names. She does not want B to know she was eavesdropping . So I swore I wouldn’t say anything .
The whole day I felt horrible that I couldn’t tell C. She’s a friend. I want to mention that A and B are also my friends. Anyways, I decided that I should at least give C a heads up just in case management call and try to move her to a different office. I wanted her to be prepared with her numbers to back herself up in case they try to tell her she’s not doing good. So I texted C and asked her how is she doing performance wise and if she had talked to her manager recently . C said she’s doing fine and she hasn’t talked to her manager but asked me why . I told her I can tell her some stuff but she can’t say anything. She said she won’t. So I told her what A told me but without mentioning A or B’s real name. C kept asking me for the names and I said I can’t say because I swore I won’t. So now she’s super upset with me because she said it’s wrong of me to tell her half of the story. I told her that I just can’t mention names. She said then i shouldn’t have told her at all then. But the reason I wanted to tell her what was said so she can prepare herself in case her manager calls and tell her to move offices. Now she’s saying I’m playing this stupid game with her and if I don’t want to her the whole truth then she will figure out who said all that about her herself. I told her that I understand it’s frustrating to not know who said that about her but please understand I told A I won’t mention names. At least please understand that my intention is to give you a heads up. She didn’t care.
Now I feel horrible. C is right, maybe I shouldnt have told her anything at all. But part of me feel like I would also feel shitty if I didn’t say anything. How badly did I mess up ? I don’t know what to say to her now. Maybe it was wrong of me to even say something to her in the first place but my intention was good. I just wanted to give her a heads up.
Am I shitty friend ? 😫😫😫😫
