<human>: Long story short I manage a small office, and an assistant so I hire an employee. Well in the past when I only had one part time employee if one quit I was hurting so now I always make it a habit to hire two.

So I had to hire a guy, and I hired not the greatest of workers. Whatever I need a warm body, then comes along a new hire who is A LOT BETTER. So I cut first employees hours and increase 2nd accordingly. 

The first worker protests, I tell him tough, deal with it, or buck up and show some improvement.

Then...

He brings in his mom! His mom is a nice lady...and I'm so confused why this employee is bringing in his mom to discuss his hours with me.

So his mom purposes the question "Why did you reduce my sons hours"

To which I look at her son and say "Well, would you like me to explain why?" he says yes!

I look at the mom and start on my list of issues. Then I look at the mom and say: "Now if you where in my position would you not do the same thing?" To which she agreed, they left.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: don't send in your mom to settle a issue between a mgr and employee...Or I will bury you in front of her.
