I hate working for family
I work for my parents. I started working for them straight out of high school.
8 years later, I’m still here. They pay me very well, and there ARE benefits for working for them.. they are very understanding if I ask for a day off, or if something comes up.
Lately, I’ve been having some issues with the way my dad speaks to me at work; especially in front of other employees. He will groan and sigh when I have a question, or if I need clarification on something he will say “I have no idea and I don’t have time for these silly questions” I have told him he can’t talk to me like that, and he’ll just respond with “don’t be so sensitive” or “no need to get all wound up” ??!!
I manage a customer account, and one of our employees was doing a job for them at their facility—they forgot to put info on their work order and my mother texted me “you are the one who manages their account so you should’ve told *employees name* to get that info” I said “there’s a spot on the work order, I wasn’t on the site so I had assumed he knew to fill out that info, as he does with all other jobs” and she told me that she shouldn’t be doing my job for me and I need to be better.
My parents keep giving me little “pointless” jobs, like calling places to ask for stuff or going and picking up things for inventory when we literally have a courier service for that. I explained to them it’s hard for me to do my actual job properly when I’m being pulled away to do these silly things all the time and they call me lazy.
The other day, my dad was with another employee and I had asked why my husband was going to his house to build a planter and he said “I don’t have time to do it, I don’t work part time like you do. Seriously, what the fuck” in front of the other employee? I work full time?! What??!!! Every. Single. Day. He makes a comment about me leaving on time. I told him I have responsibilities and need to leave at my end time, and I start at my start time. He said I’m part of the lazy generation. He makes these comments in front of other employees
I’m literally so depressed I had to mute my parents notifications when my shift ends but now my mother’s phone notified her that my notifications are muted and she was offended. I am miserable. But I can’t quit because I will never make the money I’m making right now, and we are saving to buy a house.
