Rapid-set mortar on historic brick is a disaster waiting to happen

We had a project fixing an old brick wall. The boss wanted to use rapid-set for speed. I knew it was a bad move because old brick needs to breathe. Sure enough, cracks appeared everywhere after it dried. Now we're stuck with a bigger mess, lol.

So is the boss just trying to save face now, or what? Bet he's blaming the bricks themselves or the weather, lol. How much extra is this gonna cost to fix, and is the project timeline totally screwed? Sounds like a classic case of rushing to save a day and losing a week.

Did the boss ever admit it was a bad call?
