Just wondering if anyone else works for a dealership where the owner has their children working there? I have 4 that do absolutely nothing, except cause problems and tension with all of the other employees. They are always late, abuse vacation and sick days, and are condescending and rude. Anyone in the same boat?

Re: Nepotism
My boss married the owner's daughter 20 years ago or so. Then about 10 years ago both of his son's, her step children, started working here. For the most part they do what is required of the rest of us. A few of us "older" techs realize they will always have a job no matter what happens. The younger ones will complain and we explain it to them and tell them "If they still have a problem to go talk the service manager, their father, and the President of the company, service managers wife and their step mom".Comment

Re: Nepotism
Have said no to good paying jobs after figuring out the company structure based on experience of nepotism.
Nothing wrong with father and son businesses, but makes it frustrating for non related individuals with a bit of ambition.WhateverComment

Re: Nepotism
Re. Generations choosing different experiences.
There is no universal definition of right or wrong in the grand plan of the universe, their is only "conscious" experiences.
Any given personal life path comes down to a "choice" of life experiences, or a "force" of life experiences, either-or there just experiences.
What is raised up one day can be beat down the next. We get to choose(free will) or not to choose(force will) to have that experience.
There's no point dwelling on what you cannot change outside your own circle of influence.
If you believe that the conscious beings purpose in the universe is never ending, then as such, there can be many many different life experiences to the universal/multiverse existent.Inauguration to the "AI cancel-culture" fraternity 1997...

Re: Nepotism
Me, one tech in small company.
Boss's only son who is a student is working in his free time to help with toner deliveries, paper work and every Friday clean-up Office.
I guess it is STILL up to the family how to raise next generation. Do I like this kid, Yes I do!A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.Comment

Re: Nepotism
Nepotism it self isn't a problem where I work, the Big Bosses son did work in sales for a while, didn't cause any problems before he headed off overseas to bigger and better things.
However you do have to watch what you say to who as you never know who's related to whom.
We have had at least 4 sets of fathers and sons working in Service, another 3 sets of brothers in sales, sisters working in accounts and salesmen like to employ their daughters as canvassers. One of the sons in Service married a daughter of a admin lady and she is an in-law of the Office Manager.
Complicated? yep!! but not so much nepotistic as incestious!At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment
