I think its great example, the one youve put about your grandfather, but that is personal experience. What if your grandfather couldnt work at desk or work at all? Would he stay on same pay/level of life like before? Could you give me/us some examples of family busisnesses ran for generations that were "given" to people who were hired and dont come from family or didnt marry into family? And that happened within last 20 years lets say? And that didnt happen because owner died and no1 from real family knew how to run business? Just of pure love/apprieciation for your workers family ;) I think those are rather exceptions, and exceptions confirmz the rule. Im not saying all companies are bad, im saying family style doesnt work for everyone and as you said yourself, its conditional. So its not really a family and pretending it is or acting like it would be is just cheating yourself and your workers. Youve responded to 3 years argument, but what about ten mills? If your company gets 150% profit will that be split evenly... So you'll get equal part to your boss and his real family members that work there? Did you experience this? If no then why create this illusion that people who arent... are brothers and sisters (unless you pull in religion in)? No 1 said about "paper entity". Im hiring people and i give them great rates, sense of security like not many companies do. I guide them to growth so theyre not dependent on my company and if they decide they want to go they dont have the guilt trip (which was one of yhings described in that article). I dont tell them theyre family, because they have their own families. But if you say that someones open company not for profits from what they create/serve then its actually called charity. If company makes money just to exist then its a hammster wheel. And of course, if you tell your hammsters they're your familly they're going to run that mill at 150%.
