My brother was counseled for working nights when he was a teen. He worked at a grocery store and missed the ''book study'' and ''ministry school'' meetings.(He needed money to pay for gas and car insurance.)
My mom made him quit his job when the elders asked why he was missing so many weekly meetings.
They had a part at the ''service meeting'' with my brother and an elder talking about the dangers of working nights when you should be attending the weekly meetings.The congregation,my mom,and elders were all happy he quit his part time job.
Last year at the 1 day assembly,a brother gave an experience the whole congregation loved .He worked in construction and missed too many meetings because the work involved finishing concrete and staying there to make sure that no one wrote on the concrete. The elders asked him why it was so important to work at a field where he would miss so many meetings.
He talked it over with his wife and decided to quit his job. After one year he was still unemployed but at least he wouldn't miss any more meetings and that Jehovah would provide for his family.(He failed to mention that he lived downstairs from his parents and that they helped him financially)
