Note: This happened to me several years when working in another company, but a similar event reminded me about this (current workplace)
A colleague who I have been working with for more than a year told me that he wishes to leave the company and also asked to keep this information for myself, which I did. Of course, he discusses this issue with his manager.
A couple of days after this, my own manager asked me if I knew something about my colleague wanting to leave (this came out of the blue as our discussion was related to another project I was working on).
My colleague barely knew my manager, so most likely his manager discusses this issue with my manager.
Being forced into making a quick decision, I chose to deny knowing about this and nothing happened afterwards, but I am wondering what is the appropriate (professional) way to deal with such issues?
Extra context information: an Eastern European branch of a Western IT company.
