One night to make decision

For sure. I was too dense to realize that there was a hint in your post. :)

Me neither, but I guess that's what I was really trying to say. I think it's better to not tell him, since the OP had nothing to do with creating the Hobson's Choice scenario the OP faced. On the other hand, even if the OP told him, it truly was a "life or death" decision.
 
When discussing my situation last week with HR, I asked the question, what happens to my friend if I elect not to take his position. Their response was he is being laid off regardless. This was good news to me and made it much easier to say I will stay.

Yes he is still a friend and understands we are both victims of this economy. He was very professional during our meeting. Even though it was a difficult day it gave us the opportunity to look back at the many projects we succesfully completed. He will also be the first one asked to come back if and when the project starts up.
