Yeah, not good enough. I'm certain she's been expressly forbidden to talk to me about it, but you have to make your own moral choices.
I have to say I agree with you on that one. I'm sorry you are in such a fucked up situation.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Herding cats for fun
I temped at a place where employees discovered they'd been terminated when they arrived at work and found themselves locked out of their e-mail and the company network. That was a pretty crappy day.

she shouldn't have lied to you, but can you blame her for not wanting to break the rules?

Is there anything bad that one should look out for before signing a lease for an apartment?
Aside from hidden fees (which someone pointed out) make sure there is an out if you change or lose jobs. There should be a buy out clause where you can get out of the lease for an extra half month or months rent past your notice. (I once lived in an aparment where you could get our for $150 extra - but that was a place with a waiting list for tenants). If something like that is not in there, negotiate it, write it in, initial it and have the other person do the same.

Ishe shouldn't have lied to you, but can you blame her for not wanting to break the rules?
Yes. She put rule following/ass covering against doing what is right. Yeah, I blame her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She put rule following/ass covering against doing what is right.
I'd say she put it over telling the truth and doing what's kind. What's right? Is it right simply because it is either the truth or kind? Or for a reason outside of either of those interpretations of telling Hec what was really up?

What, she's never heard of YMSTICPC?
House of Cards was so much fun. I see it's out on DVD now, I should put that on my wishlist.

If she wanted to follow the rules but do so in a moral way should would have said "I'm not allowed to discuss these personnel issues." She would have done her job without lying.

Well, there's following the letter of the rules and following the spirit--she could follow the letter of the rules and not, technically, tell him anything, but not lie to his face.
For example, when the layoffs were coming at my old job, the one guy had just been hired, and he was talking with someone from HR about buying a house (he'd just moved to town, and was still in corporate rental housing) and the HR guy was subtly telling him to put it off. Gee, wonder why?

Hec, I'm so sorry. I hope things wrap up quickly and as stress-free as possible.
