That's absurd.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
Why would she do that? I hate when people are just stupid.

But it's also stupid for the boss to be mad about it! You know he's leaving, of course you wonder about what's next!

Oh FFS. There are things you need to know. And I would definitely have a follow up conversation with the HR rep.
(And find out what she actually said - if she said msbelle is concerned about not having any details on what happens next, and he's flipping out, that's on him, not HR.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
SERIOUSLY!!!
1) he did not tell me it was confidential - the part about him leaving. He told me "today is my last day here".
I was just supposed to KNOW that he was sharing that with us in confidence. THE DOOR WAS NOT EVEN CLOSED IN HIS OFFICE.
2) I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK HR QUESTIONS!!!
3) FUCK EVERYONE!
my only hope is that I somehow have jeopardized him even staying with the company.
I think as soon as I officially have a new boss I am making an appointment with the VP of HR. and that chic is going to get an angry phone call.

Wait, you mean HR possibly didn't know??
Amy - Mar 21, 2014 8:22:00 am PDT #22964 of 30000
Because books.
He told me "today is my last day here".
Which you'd have to assume other people would notice, since he was cleaning out his desk!
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK HR QUESTIONS!!!
Exactly so.

No, HR knew, he just wasn't supposed to say anything.

It sounds like he's not in good favor there himself.

Ah. Yeah. In that circumstance if HR was calling him on it they in no way should have told him who inquired.
But, people do tend to notice things like desk clearing. Make him do it on the weekend if it needs to be so hush hush (and I can't imagine a reason why it does).
