The bad side of a family owned business
I had a frank talk with one of the employer’s girls last night, as we sat there and listened to each others sob stories, I thought to myself: “This chick is an ungrateful little B****”. The small lab I work for is a family business and for the past two years, the owners good for nothing daughters have been brought aboard due to their lack of smarts in this society. So as any smart parent should not do, this fool brought his two kids aboard in an industry that they know nothing about. So here they are, getting everything handed to them, starting off with nice salary and compensation packages (while the rest of us had to work hard for it), good hours, paid to stay home and sleep and so on and so forth…you get my drift? Well anyways, he recently threattened us with a layoff which would put two of us out of a job, now realisticly the last two employees to be hired on would have to go, however, his theory was to let the two most valuable employees go because he could not leave his kids without a job! Well, how nice of you to be so considerate and keep two dumb a**** to run your business, I’m sure they will run it to the ground! N/E ways, the eldest was bitvjing that she and her husband were on a tight budget and that they wanted to add on to their house, and then she proceeded to tell me that I should cut back on some of my spending if I wanted to save some money like them. Oh, excuse me! I must have missed the part where my parents pay for my mortgage and car payment! If my folks handed me three thousand a month for my mortgage and vehicle I would be saving five thousand dollars a month! Yes, these two leaches get mortgage and car payment paid and they also get a pay check on top of that, how lovely, and the rest of ushave to suffer for these two poor excuses of humanity. N/e ways I just looked her in the eye and told her to shut up!
