Question
Greetings and blessings! I was recently offered a certain position in an office that I am already familiar with from the past. My acquaintance with this office tells me that if I accept the position, they will immediately dismiss the one who currently holds that position in my favor. My question is, can I now proactively approach the office owners who offered me the job even though I know for certain that the other employee will be fired because of me? Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello and good tidings!
I asked our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, and he said that it is not appropriate to offer yourself if it is clearly at the expense of another employee.
