So, as some may know my wife works for her dad's company. well everyone at the company has a cell paid for by the company, and he decided to switch all the phones to sprint. he came over Saturday and was telling us all about it and the plans and what not cause i needed a phone. so me and the wife went out to sprint, and they had these phones that i wanted fora good price, and it was also buy 1 get 1 free. so of course we get the other phone and a good plan. Well she goes in today to tell him, and to have him give her reimbursement for her phone's half of the bill. well he decided (after telling us all this) that he's not going to sprint, he's going to t-mobil, because one tech "doesnt get sprint service in his area", which is bullshit cause i know the area hes in, been there before with my old sprint phone, and it worked fine.

Now on this part- out of 12 techs, 8 of them already have sprint phones!!! Is it dumb to be pissed about this?

Now for the more BS part- while she talking to herdad he mentions thatg next week she has to go out of town to chicago. No other notice then that, 6 days before she has to leave. Im still looking for a job, and now this screws me cause the babysitter lives 20 miles away, a block away from her work(one way), so i cant waste the gas movey driving her all that way for just a babysitter. and now she has to find her own tickets, and pay for all her food while she's down there, something we simply cant afford to do. so now i cant look for a job, cause who's going to interview someone with a 6 mth old with them? and she mentions that i could come down too (I said no when she brought it to me- cant afford it). but her dad said no because she would work while she was there. Its not like we are 12!!!

Now, Shes almost 22 yrs old, been married for 2 yrs, has a child, and a life of her own- dont you think her dad should realize that?? IMO he acts as though her life is in his total control.

Are we crazy for feeling wronged by this, or do you think we have a right to feel like this?

And what would you do in our position?

Wow....yeah, that sucks. I would feel pretty shit upon right there, not to mention he is meathead for switching to t-mobil instead of sprint or verizon because one tech doesn't know how to use his phone.

As for what to do...can't answer that. Don't know nearly enough about your life to even begin to comment on it. However, yes you are being treated like kids.

cool. yeah and to be honest, my wife is not one of those "my daddy owns this place, so bow down". She is no bs the hardest working person there (with the exception of the techs).

Im just sick of all his bullshit promises. He has mad so fucking many over the last year and has yet to hold his end of the bargain. He promised my wife a review and probable raise every 3 mths. she's work there for over a year, has almost completely taking over the old manager's job, and hasnt gotten 1 review or 1 raise.

That is something your wife and your father-in-law have to work out.

lol, I keep saying that, but, well, thats kinda a thing between hoim and his kids. He wont listen, and when her bother died, her dad was left with some aweful guilt for stuff (I wont get into it), and seemed like he changed, but he hasent. His problem is he like control, he wants control of everything, including his wife and kids. ,my wife hates it, but just cant say anything.

And it isnt the point of the chicago thing, its good for her career. just a little notice. and the phone isnt too big of a deal cause for both phones, with unlimited nights starting at 6 pm for $70 a mth., so its not like its going to kill us, but the main reason was because he talked up sprint so we got sprint then it oh i changed ym mind in 1 day bullshit.
