My husband has been with a company for a year in October. He has worked hard for this company sometimes 6 weeks at a time without coming home. He’s worked over time weeks on end. Probably the companies smartest and hardest most loyal employee they have had. Always looking at it as his company in ways of taking care of customers and jobs. Looking out for his boss because if he didn’t know something then it could jeopardize the entire company kind of thing. My husband worked thanksgiving and had just recently got his brother on out there with the same company. At thanksgiving my husband talked to one of the older men on crew about covering the only job going right now for Christmas holidays which was a night job that he and his brother were working. It was for 3 days/nights. It only needed one man maybe 2 and there were 2 guys out there. The owner decided that the 2 guys covering were covering for his son and his brothers father in law whom had only been out there for 2 days as it was. So the owners son and the owners brothers father in law could be off for Christmas but my husband and his brother were suppose to stay apparently and work through Christmas. The owner himself was at home and so was his brother. My husband knowing full well that he had talked to the other guy about covering and having been the only employee to work weeks and weeks on end decided he and his brother were coming home on the Monday before Christmas because my husband had to go get a puppy for our son, which was seven hours away. His brother and him left at the same exact time on Monday. We had Christmas and they both turned around and drove back out to the job site on Thursday. The boss let them work Thursday night and then turned around and called only my husband first thing Friday morning to fire him over the phone. Did not call the brother he did the exact same thing and had only been working there for one month. My husband felt total betrayal because he has worked his butt off for the man. He had never had a write up or been in trouble. He fully expected a stern talking or even being written up maybe even another probation period. But to fire only one brother one day after Christmas and not the other is by far the most wrong thing a owner of a company could do. Now we are left after Christmas with no income and no way to pay bills that are already behind. My prayer is that God will open the door to a new place of employment immediately or allow the owner to see how wrong what he just did was and correct the situation. This is a very small company and my husband as been loyal to this man in ways no other employee has been and then some. To treat someone that way when there was other ways to handle it. Other companies they worked with were beyond shocked as well and said it was wrong. One brother and not the other when it was both of them. I feel sick and lost and scared because we are already behind.
