Friends Forcing Expectations

My friends family invited me to come work at their company, Starts 5am finishes 1pm, the pay is $14/hour. The thing is I told them I'll be getting a job in about 1-2 weeks, but they still expect me to come and work with them when it would only be for 1 week but the whole family chooses to ignore me when I say, "'ll be working soon," I've known this family for 9 years. I can't do $14 an hour, including for those hours.

I didn't go to the time they told me to go and are calling me and asking why didn't I go, After I told them already I can't do that type of work for $14 an hour, I feel really bad for them trying to passively aggressively force me to work for them. It just feels like their not respecting what I'm doing and must see me as a child or something. I feel bad for not going but I don't want to work for their friends company for 5 says then quit. It would make them look bad.

Hello,

I'm sorry they ere not that understanding of your situation.

It's understandable you may feel bad about them being passive aggressive.

However, I commend you for standing your ground.<3💛✨
