Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Many years ago I worked in a company with 2 people, let's call them Co-worker and Friend. Friend and I were senior employees and knew each other outside of work. Co-worker was junior and we didn't know each other well.

Co-worker and I were laid off years ago and found new jobs. 

Last November the company gave remaining employees 3 months notice it was shutting down. Friend was still working there and making a very generous salary. 

While Friend was finishing the 3 months, we became short-staffed at my new job. The position was junior, part-time, temporary and freelance.  I found out Co-worker was available and recommended her. I know Friend wouldn't have taken it, because the pay would be much less than finishing the 3 months.

Now 5 months later, it looks like the position might become permanent. My husband thinks I should cut Co-worker loose and recommend Friend while the position is still freelance. AITA if I don't want to? Co-worker is fully trained and has turned out to be awesome at the job.

TL;DR Would have recommended my friend if I knew the job was permanent - I didn't and now she's out of work.
