what do you do for work??? if you can find a job in your field easy enough and youll get what you want ( van & gas & lots of vacation).....do it.....take care of numero uno

i think your probably good enough at what you do
to just start
your own company....
time to think ....out of the box...

in past experience when a family member is joining the staff
it creates a tense competition from then on.

and the boss always believes and sides with them& not you.
in other words ......it aint worth the hassel ....
time for a change....is blowin in the wind.

telling a boss what he can do with his job is one of lifes pleasures.

BEST ADVICE EVER!!!

Tell him to provide the insurance company's statement IN WRITING that you are considered an unsafe driver and that is directly resulting in an increase in his rates. That is a very derogatory accusation that you will pursue, if necessary. Give him seven days to produce. If he can't, it will smell of wrongful termination or at least making it more difficult to do your job. If he did know all the vacation time when he hired you, it would help to document that. Hell, plumbers are in demand with all the building and remodeling, I know! Sounds like his business must be in bad shape if he can't support adding another guy, especially when I see service rates for plumbers around here at $80-95.00 an hour!!! It sounds like a BS excuse to me.
Best advice I ever got about running a contracting business and dealing with employees was to treat them the way you would want to be treated if put in the same position. Try sharing that with him.
