your work is never your family, the sooner in life you figure that out the better off you will be. No matter what employer you have, they will fire you the first instance it is profitable for them to do so. Its a contract, you can take pride in your work, but at the end of the day its a business deal and its about money.
- sleepybrett 4y agoThe work is your family if it's a family business. But that presents a whole set of different scenarios.
- autokad 4y agoI disagree. even if you are the owner of the business, or working for someone in your family's business, its still business. full stop.
- astrange 4y agoIf you're the owner of the business none of your conditions above would apply; they can't fire you and you're not contracted to it. You can of course have disagreements with the other owners, and it's not good to put your whole life into your personal business as if you were a subsistence farmer. On the other hand, telling employees they should own part of the business is bad investing advice; if you get shares of a company and you're not already a millionaire you should sell them and buy an index fund. Even if you work there.
- autokad 4y agowhen I say 'if you are the owner', I mean if you are the owner, the people who work for you (even if family) are employees, and anything you do in regards to the business should be with that scope. And that should be their scope as well. in terms of the business, its an employee company relationship. Obviously if you own a business, you are much more vested in its success
