Is this genuine?

Question

My friend's company is going thru' too many changes. Most are looking for another jobs as the company might not survive.
My friend has just started looking too.

Her boss has found another job but has not turned in resignation yet. The boss is going around telling her friends at work she is going to take my friend there to the new job if she is interested.

The boss keeps saying atleast she will have a job to go to. With all the office gossip my friend has also learned that the Boss's new job/department is in a big mess and she is not looking forward to it as things were very smooth at the current job. A couple of positions at the new job need to be replaced.
Many of the office gossipers feel that the boss wants my friend for clean up of mess and not for genuine reasons.
What do u think? Is the boss not genuine? What does the comment "she will have a job to go to mean"? Is the boss taking advantage of the situation?

Answer 1

This a promise and promises are not always kept in business. Office gossip at my place is very good but not at all places. Stay away from the gossips. Cleaning up someone mess means you get stuck with the mess and problems. not a great prospect. Have your friend look for a job on her own or with some of her friends.
