i used to work for a real estate and development company where the 2 sons openly came to work high, worked whenever they wanted and were automatically given prestigious leadership roles in the company with zero accountability or having to work for their positions. i'm so glad they fired me

I've Worked 52 years I've seen many Red Flags. Dealing with family it's best just to move on. Take the time to find something else. Once you have secured another position give proper notice. Dealing with family it's best to just let go. Most of the time it's best not dealing with family in businesses. Good luck Joel

I had a wonderful experience in a restaurant. Our waiter was the owners son. He had started as a youngster moping floors and scrubbing the kitchen, then as a busser, and now as a waiter. He explained his dad would have him running the register in the future and then his dad would teach him how to run the business. Then his dad would hand it over. BTW he was a very competant waiter and quite sweet.

I worked a family-owned business for 30 years. The third generation is in charge of the business now. I've had conversations with the current president over the years and he would tell me about the expectations of family members who are in the business. They always set the bar high for themselves and treat all employees no different than themselves. It was a great company to work for. I wish everyone could say the same about their employers.

I had a job like this. Owner put his 19 year old daughter in charge of 5 accounts. I had a problem at my account with a subordinate, who refused flat out to do what he was supposed to and refused to listen to me. I went to her with this problem. He was inappropriately interacting with the female janitors. She was not interesting in doing anything job related, just gushing over any "cute" guy under her, or at the accounts. Ugh. She was the apple of daddy's eye. I didn't even bother to complain, I just found a new job.

@richardtaylor2361 Месяц назад

I agree I ran a large retail store for a man who wanted to step back as I became more successful at my job. Then he started putting relatives under my authority. they counted against my labor budget, but I had no way to correct their lack of work skills or effort. Since I was partially paid for profit, this led to my leaving in less than a year. And for the owner there were hard feelings all around. Myself, the employees that saw what was happening, the family members that caused the issue, I mean everyone was angry and His business lost about 30% of sales. Needless to say, he was back in the office not playing the golf he was hoping for.

@pnwflipper2089 Месяц назад

My grandpa used to be a business consultant for big multimillion dollar companies that were failing and he would go in and figure out where the problem was. Many times he would go to the owner and say “ok I found the problem, you need to fire so-in-so, his department is dragging the whole company down” And the owner would say “ I can’t fire him, he’s my nephew/father-in-law/brother-in-law etc. etc.

@GregHind145 2 месяца назад

Even if you do it the way Dave says there is a 90% chance it will fail badly. If you make it work it will bring generational change to that person so it is huge but you are playing with fire. The dysfunction has got this far it won’t be easy to fix. It’s not just a conversation and the boss does what you and the team thinks is right. They know what’s wrong already so whatever is causing them to allow it is a big deal and a chat won’t make that better.

Nice story Dave tells himself about his kids “starting at a disadvantage”. Here I thought we were supposed to live in reality. Daddy is the boss is one of the biggest advantages ever.

@zachg3069 2 месяца назад

Depends. I have worked for my father on 2 different occasions. At first, it was a disadvantage because he didn’t want to show favoritism. So I was the lowest paid and always had the worst jobs to do. And he’s the kind that wouldn’t be afraid to fire me on the spot. I left, got more experience, education, came back and now work for him again. It really depends on the parent and the kid.

Yes, the fact that the owner even allowed this situation in the first place, is the real problem here. The owner is responsible for creating this mess, and if you're the "messenger" bringing it to his attention now, the retaliation will likely fall on you. These types of toxic family systems go wrong from the top down. Spare yourself the fallout from that conversation, apply for another job and get out.

@TeKnoVKNG23 2 месяца назад

This hardly ever works in my experience. We have a fairly middle sized team at work and we have 2-3 people that always go out of their way to not do things correctly. Boss is aware of the issues, but doesn't want anyone to "hurt feelings" so instead of calling them out or meeting with them individually, we always have a group meeting where we highlight the issue we keep seeing from "the team." Since they never get individually called out or met with, the same people who don't do things right, continue to not do things right and the people doing their jobs correctly get mad/frustrated for having to continually get called out when they are doing things right. It's a very ineffective way to manage.

I would have another job in my back pocket. In addition, it would depend on how bad the relative was.

Got no problems with family businesses it's the same as all the other businesses. If you work for a company with the expectation its going to give you the job of CEO or something in a few years, meanwhile their son is being trained for that job, whose fault is it that your expectation is just bonkers? If you don't expect to be treated like one of the family then what's the problem?

A small or mid-sized company doesn't really need a CEO, the owner does that stuff and when they want to retire they either hire a bunch of separate managers to take over the roles or they sell.

Two things: The relationship between his boss and his children is none of another employee's business. The employees need to keep their heads down and do their own jobs.

You will never lead the business.

@thomasdalton1508 Месяц назад

I think Dave needs to take a little more time reading and understanding the question before he starts answering it. There is nothing in the question to say the owner is sanctioning the poor performance and it is clear that the person writing in is the kid's manager. The first step is just to treat the kid like you would treat anyone else and see what happens. If they try to play the "my parent is the owner" card, then you need to go to their parent. If it gets to the point where, with anyone else, you would be managing them out of the business, then you need to go to their parent. Otherwise, their parent has nothing to do with it. They are an adult, so treat them like one.
