My friend asked for some money a while back. I offered $500, and he said he needed $750. I said alright and gave him $750 and we both agreed that he’ll pay that off in about 2 months, in weekly instalments of $100. For the first 3 weeks, he couldn’t make that payment. But he started paying after that, and stopped after paying off $300/750. I reminded him once and he said he’ll get back to me and just stopped talking about it. I didn’t have the energy or time to bring it up over $450. He asked if he can work at one of my sites as a labourer. I said I can offer him 2 days of work at $20/hour to clean up and load trucks. He worked those two days for 10 hours each. I also paid for his 1.5 hour(per day) break. When it came to pay time, I gave him $300 instead of $400. I said he can continue working for me every week and I’ll garnish $100 from him to pay off his debt to me. He was shocked and flabbergasted. Said he needed the money now to pay his bills. I didn’t nudge and said he can have that $300 but as long as he’s working for me, I’m taking $100/week off his wage. I pay him cash.
