Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents want me to become a lawyer, all because our family members keep getting into feuds and court cases. I'm a successful developer, and run my own company. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl I have known for a while, since our Dads have worked together for 40 years. After I rang my Dad to tell him the good news, he told me that there was a position open at work, which had belonged to her Dad. My Dad had to fire him. FML
Today, my sister got fired and I got promoted to her job, got a nice payrise for it. My relationship with my sister will never be the same again. FML
Today, my job interview got canceled. I later found out it's because my sister got the brilliant idea to go talk to the manager to "advocate" for me, and they thought I put her up to it. FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML
Today, I thought my dad was finally showing interest in the business I started last year when he asked about my next event. Nope, he just wanted to know if I would hire his step-granddaughter. Her first question? "So, I won't have to do any like, real work right?" Gee, thanks Dad. FML
Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML
Today, I was let go from my stepmom's family business because she and my dad are getting a divorce, and she says it's too painful and awkward to have me still hired on. I can't afford a wrongful termination suit. FML

It's not up to you or your father to supply your sister with a job. Especially if she's under qualified. FYL

Maybe you should offer for the both of you to switch for the day. Then he'll understand.

The sister should be at least competent at answering phones and scheduling appointsments. If she knows the alphabet she can file. On the other hand if she isn't making a living as a hairdresser do you really want her working at your law firm?

I work at a law firm too. Don't give in to that shit! If your parents don't respect your business, **** them! It's YOUR life, and YOUR business. Plus, it's your livelihood!

So because she's a hairdresser she can't be a secretary or fetch coffee or work in the mail room or any of the other "no qualifications necessary" positions that are avaliable in a law firm?

This may sound ridiculous but hear me out first. You could open a hair salon in your law firm and your sister could work there. I've seen tons of companies, on TV, that have barber shops or hair salons or game rooms and whatnot. Those things improve employee performance, at work, I guess. It's not that employees have fun instead of working. I think they are motivated to work harder and do a better job and, I think, it makes going to work a lot more fun.

lack of education doesn't mean lack of intelligence, or inability to learn on the job, which is what most people do anyway. if you knew your sister is unhappy in her current job, you should have offered.

Lack of education means that you cannot fill certain jobs. There could be a very good reason not to hire her.

1. Is she any good at it? 2. Is this a large firm? This might me a good thing. A quick trim before going to court can't hurt. You don't want either counsil or their clients to look like bums in fron of a judge...
