Your thoughts?
I got my brother a job with my boss' boyfriend cleaning out and maintaining foreclosed houses. It's gone on, he works 7 days a week sun up to sun down, unless it rains to much on days they need to mow. Luckily he is able to bring my niece with him most of the time which she loves. My boss and her boyfriend went to a family reunion on Sat and Sun. He asked brother to clean the backyard of a house on Saturday. That was the only thing they had for the weekend and Bro's Ex finally conceded to let him see her daughter on Sat so he chose to just do the house on Sun and he got stuck because the ground is super soft I had to go pull him out and he told his boss that maybe they should wait for dryer weather on that house. Well now this morning my boss came in griping at me that he shouldn't have been doing the house on Sun it was supposed to be on Sat and then he didn't even finish yet and boyfriend should just fire him. I find it really crappy of her considering she RARELY comes in on time and frequently leaves early and her long lunches to do errands. I tried explaining to her that given he hasn't seen that daughter in two years and the house was a really bad project right now anyways because of how soft the ground is. But her retort is that if your boss says you have to work on a certain day then it doesn't matter what else you have going on you have to work on that day. If she were perfectly punctual it wouldn't bother me so much but all I can think right now is what a hypocritical b*tch. I think he should find something else, but when does he have the time to do it? He leaves the house at 5-6 am every morning 7 days a week and comes home around 7-8 in the evening. What are your thoughts?

Re: Your thoughts?
Situations like this are one of many reasons I don't mix personal and business.
On the other side, from what you said, "asked brother to clean the backyard of a house on Saturday." it seems like your brother's employer gave him a Saturday assignment which brother chose to do on Sunday and then was unable to complete. Yeah, the rest of the situation sucks, but it kind of seems like this is all under the table paid in cash work, so you are completely at the whim of your employer and have to keep him happy to keep the job. So you do what you gotta do.
Yeah, it does seem like your boss is a bit of a hypocritical person who loves an opportunity to gripe. But if I've learned anything in life, it's that sh*t rolls downhill and being right doesn't mean you are on the winning side. I hope your bro is able to keep the job and his relationship with other daughter is able to grow.
