They hired me to pressure wash their driveway and do some wiring in their basement. We agreed I would work for $20/hour. My wife is pregnant and I’m currently unemployed, so I was happy to have the opportunity to work. Come the end of the week, I had worked a total of 31 hours, and was expecting to earn at least $600, maybe slightly less. Instead, I get a lengthy message from my sister in law that they decided to only pay $400 because I’m a smoker so they took it upon themselves to subtract smoke breaks. That would amount to hours upon hours of smoking! The basement is not finished, but my wife and I agreed in order to save ourselves from future situations like this, I shouldn’t do more jobs for them. AITA?
