“The footage showed my brother tampering with equipment, deleting important client emails, and even forging cancellation notices,” he recalled.
“I confronted him, and after initially denying it, he broke down and admitted everything. He said he never forgave me for the prank and wanted to get back at me. He knew how much the business meant to me and wanted to see me struggle as payback.”
He was furious and heartbroken, never expecting their petty sibling rivalry to get in the way of something so important. He decided to fire his brother on the spot.
When he later told his parents, they were understanding. But, he later found out his brother had begun telling other relatives and friends that he was fired unjustly.
“Now, I’m getting calls and messages from relatives who don’t know the full story, calling me heartless and urging me to reconcile with my brother,” he added.
“He’s struggling financially again, and they think I should rehire him out of family loyalty. But I can’t bring myself to do it.”
Should he consider rehiring his brother?
