Okay so what if he were the one who had cancer and he wouldn't be able to come into work for 10 months because of treatment. Should they keep him on then out of pity?

I'm not saying it isn't sad; but if he can't meet the hours that he was hired for then why is it the company's burden to pick up his slack just because it's a sad situation? It's a small company so they probably don't have the extra manpower or profit margin to be able to afford to handle that much loss of time.

On the other hand, it isn't his fault either so maybe he should sue them? That seems to be the default answer today.
