To be fair he is a business owner, he has to look at the big picture for his business and at least he was honest and forward with her. And before anyone comes saying "well she can clearly do the job so he was wrong!!!" no, she got the job because someone looked at those needed expenditures to aid her and accepted them. And while we are being fair those kinds of aids can help the other employees as well so it's easier to justify it to corporate.
