Yep a lot of the time this is basically the job. Can be great.

The thing in this scenario is he doesn't know they are being payed to be there. It creates a position where if they can't do the work, then he's going to lose his only friends.

I don't know what disability support sector is like where they are but this story is very far from ideal.
