Answer:
To show loyalty to the employer, Karen must take on some of Angela's roles as he asked. To show loyalty to her friend, Karen can tell her that she will take on these roles because the employer asked, due to a possible cut in staff, which would result in layoffs.
Explanation:
Karen should show loyalty to her employer by not talking about company positions that she wasn't asked to reveal, but she should also be a friend and inform her friend that she will be fired, so she'll be prepared when that happens.
In this case, Karen must inform Angela, who she heard that there will be a possible cut in the staff and because of that, the employer asked her to take on some additional roles, including roles that were performed by Angela. In this way, she leaves her friend prepared for the possible dismissal, but does not interfere in her employer's decisions.
