Nice boss totally knows and is lying.
I think she's relinquished rights to that title. She may be had-no-other-choice boss, but not Nice Boss anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fuck fuck fuck. This is so unbelievably shitty. And you know what? Especially fuck Nice Boss. What did she think, you were going to go postal on her in her office if she leveled with you?

Nice Boss could be trying to get him a better deal. If keeping her mouth shut helps with that she gets to keep her title.

I think that's kind of a radical interpretation of the text, but I'll hope that's the case.

I don't know if that's the case of course, I just know its possible.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
ChiKat, I think you should send him an email that assumes you are his boss. Ask him to get you a double tall latte, no foam, pronto!
Oh! I like this!
What if ChiKat likes the foam?
I do enjoy some foam. I think the order really needs to be a double tall skim latte, medium foam.
ChiKat, I was just looking more closely at the goodies you sent me, and I am IN LOVE with the fragrance pendant. It is SO COOL!
I am so glad! I think it's pretty cool. Put in your favorite fragrance and you have it with you all the time!
I think my nice boss is being kept in the dark. She was overruled when LA Boss nixed the hire of my minion.
Hec, is it possible that your nice boss could be on the chopping block with you? Could be LA Boss doesn't want her around, either.
Nice boss totally knows and is lying.
Oh. Guess not. I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this. They are absolute fuckweasels.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Good grief. Bosses acting like children lying about breaking the lamp because they're afraid to get into trouble? What utter crap. ::boggles::
No comfort, I'm sure, but you'll clearly be much better off when you're shut of them and their childish crap.

I'm getting the pig!
I am definitely not defending *your* Nice Boss in particular, Hec, but something to keep in mind is that maybe she totally wants to tell you but she's been told she's not allowed to.
Even if you said something like, "you can be straight with me and I won't tell *anyone* that I heard it from you" is too risky for her (if she wants to tell you, that is). There's a number of people out there that could give a rat's patootie about taking others down with them when they find out they're being let go from a company.
Perhaps, and I could be wrong, but perhaps she's had bad luck in the past with a similar type of situation or has a vision of LA Boss telling you that you've been laid off and you yelling to LA Boss, "Yeah, fucko? I know! Nice Boss told me a week ago and I've been fucking up all kinds of computer programs and deleting Important Shit ever since!! EAT IT!"
Just a thought. I'm sorry you're getting a shitty deal but maybe hold off with the judgement on Nice Boss, if at all possible.
