Awful awful awful. Mr. Weeks showed up at our house with a couple of young guys who apparently work for him and almost immediately started berating them for being useless idiots. He got louder and more obscene in his commentary until eventually he reached a level that brought out the neighbors to complain. I felt sorry for his employees, they actually seemed quite respectful and seemed to be trying to work hard. The mower apparently broke or something and after about 20 minutes and really accomplishing nothing in the yard, he yelled at the guys to wrap it up. We were in the house trying to decide if we should go say something to him, the way he was treating those guys was really atrocious. We hadn't hired him, it was our landlord, so we were not sure where our place was in all this, but we just really felt that the way he was treating those kids wasn't right.
Thankfully the neighbor, an elementary school teacher, came over and totally lit in to Mr. Weeks, telling him no person on this planet should ever be treated the way he was treating his workers. She is the hero of this story, and I know now that we should have gotten out there sooner and stood up for those kids. You have to stand up for what's right and you have to stop abuse - makes no difference if it's your business or not.
This guy doesn't deserve your business. read more
