There's no guarantee just because they've been chummy with you to make things easier at work that they won't turn on you and throw you under the bus," user JupiterSkyFalls wrote. NBCUniversal / The Office "It all depends on your relationship with this coworker. I've been on the other side of this where I was about to be fired and my coworkers, some of whom I was extremely close to, kept their mouths shut fearing retaliation," user JG307 wrote.
