Isn't a father-mother-son leadership team a massive red flag when choosing what company to work for? I mean, whether it's a car dealership or a tech startup, when you have family pride all mixed up in company culture it really tends to be a shitty place to work.
If anyone has any examples of where this type of setup has actually worked out well, would love to know of one.
- notacoward 10y agoThere's a funny thing about that. Quite a few companies have been financially successful with that model, but a disproportionate number of them seem to be morally challenged. One of the first lists I was able to find included Wal-Mart, Cargill, and Koch as three of the top four. Price fixing, influence peddling, and several examples of private profit at public expense. I kind of don't care how much money they make, or how much I might make by going there. I still wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole.
