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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I have a far superior idea; disown him for being a stupid animal. He clearly favours one child over the other and is a douchebag. FYL.

Put her in the ad department as the poster model and pay her min. wage. Problem solved

hire her as a secretary or coffee person, or if she's good looking and social, put her on the front desk

Give her the worse possible job. See how long she lasts. Either that, or accept being disowned.

If you own a law firm, why would you care about being disowned?

Well, #169, some people actually like their families and such. Weird, I know, but it does happen.

1) Tell your dad to **** off. 2) Help out your sister.

Why is everyone acting like just because she's a hairdresser, she's an idiot? You're all just stereo-typing her, which is very shallow. At the moment, I am in high school while in cosmetology school. Most of the girls in my class are in all of the AP or Honors classes offered at my school, and obtaining straight A's, or an A/B average. And, here's the biggest twist of it all, I'm going to law school after college! Wow, I guess smart cosmetologists do exist! Also, if you've even glanced into a cosmetology class, you'd know it's way more than just styling hair. You need to be intelligent to pass this class, and to get a state board license.

The point is that she doesn't deserve the job. It could go to someone who spent their time and money researching law.

WELL, you could like tell everyone you work with to pay her like 5 bucks to cut their hair...that'd help I guess. If she has a store or barber shop of some sort then you could just reccomend her. Your dad shouldn't threaten that like it's an obligation for you to help her, but as her brother you should.

I love my siblings, but I'd never work with them.

It's not your job to supply her a job.
