It's sweet that you are upset about it OP but unless you sabotaged the manager there's not much you can do or need to feel guilty about. Letting someone go is a business decision usually due to that person's performance or some firm performance problem, neither of which are in your control.

like

Keep a heads down attitude the next 2 days. Don’t involve yourself in someone else’s problem. You can’t fix it & you don’t know the full story. Go to work, get your shit done, step up and move forward.

This guy must have done something BAD to get straight up fired that quickly... unless you guys are that different than us, if it were normal performance reasons, it would not be happening like this

OP.. very likely you don’t know the whole story. Such things don’t happen without a very good reason. It’s best to follow direction given by your partner in this case.

When you say "let go", could this just mean getting rolled off vs getting fired?

Totally agree it’s completely unprofessional for you to know this before the Manager does. I’m sorry you were put in this situation.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Does anyone know if PwC is still doing that referral program?
