    I agree completely. He quit once before when they promoted him to another position and made him work 2x as hard for only 16 cents more an hour, but they lured him back by offering him his old job again. I won't say which but it's an incredibly large organization with a reputation for not being a particularly good place to work.

    I just don't think it's worth it to continue working there. I think he gets minimum wage or just slightly above it, he's doing backbreaking work and has to deal with this incredibly hostile working environment on top. They just don't appreciate him and he is frankly wasted there. He is smart, good with mechanics, and is an all around good guy. He'd never say that about himself, but he is. They really take advantage of him and it really frustrates me.

    I agree that it sounds like your brother needs to move on. I know the economy is still not the best but there has to be a better job for him some where. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    The two people weren't there last night, but are there tonight. My dad talked with him as to how to deal with the situation and gave him good advice. He generally takes my dad's advice to heart, I think, especially in situations that my dad is very experienced in like this one.

    My brother is very much at the stage in his life where he forgets he isn't invincible and believes in facing his threats. He doesn't realize that it isn't worth his trouble. It's frustrating for me because I see him letting people take advantage of him and him making poor decisions and there's nothing I can do about it. I KNOW he's smarter than that!

    I realize that most everyone goes through stages like that. I'm just praying he gets through his relatively unscathed.

    Thank you all for your prayers. I know I can always get support at PT.

    Hope everything went well for your brother at work yesterday . Surely there must be some solution to the problem short of quitting his job. But if things are so out of hand it might be the best solution for him.

    This is a very sad and frightening situation! Please know that prayers are being prayed for his safety and that a much better offer will soon come his way.
