Say there was a woman that you worked for a couple years. One that you didn’t particularly care for because of her overbearing, suck up attitude, yet at the same time, really really dumb demeanor. Then say that she used to flirt a lot with a dude you knew at the job, like touching and skulking in corners during lunch. Then next thing you know, he gets fired and the word on the street is that said woman filed a case against said dude when their quasi relationship (read: hit and run) went south. Then about a year later, she starts dating this other dude at the office and then when things went south with them, she allegedly was spreading rumors about his… Then fast forward to this week. She is flirting with another dude that you kinda know, but don’t really care about one way or the other. You know him enough to speak when you pass in the hallway, but not enough to have a conversation with. Would you tell him of the impending danger or would you just let him find out himself? In fact, you don’t know if it is anything other than flirting, so your warning may not be necessary. But just in case, do you think you should say something? What would you do?
BTW – This is not my dilemma. I don’t get involved in other people’s mess, I just blog about it. Somebody at the job asked me for my sage advice, to which I told her to mind her business and stay out of it.

If it wasn't a friend, I wouldn't say anything. I have been apart of work drama once upon a time and ever since then, I stay away. I've been working full time for over ten years and I can count on one hand how many real friends I met at a job.
i would say something even tho it's not going to stop anything. won't do any good.
I think you gave the best advice. By far.
i thought about it some more. not a friend? mind your own. if you don't know not to poo where you eat (chitlins), i can't help you.
I'd say stay out of it especially if dude isn't a friend. I think if you did tell him, he would ignore it. Then again, idk. Some men think differently.
Play with fire you will get burned...say nothing....he'll learn soon enough
