For example,
2 friends in their early 20s only have known each other for 5 months. Friend A who got a new job and his company actually staffed Friend B with a temporary job. B was injured and spoke to the agency and the management but didn't get help and kept trying to tough it out until he couldn't take it anymore. His job was cut short after complaining with the Director of Ops about how terrible the management is for providing an unsafe workplace. However, A was supposed to report it but he didn't because I guess he didn't know what would be the best course of action since he was new to the job. B could sue A's company but B doesn't want to because he doesn't want his friend to get crap for it and possibly get fired. B doesn't feel like a pushover though, and he is actually upset with the management for obvious reasons and think they should not be able to get away with this.
That's a real life recent example that B is still thinking about by the way. If you have any thoughts on it, please share.
What if they weren't really friends? Would that make a difference to you?
Please feel free to talk about it.
