55. I've worked in two family-owned businesses. Impossible to
Edited on Mon May-31-10 11:31 AM by LibDemAlways
get ahead and treated like a servant. For awhile I worked for a small family run travel agency. One Christmas the owners decided to make the staff Christmas party an "open house" during office hours on a Saturday. You guessed it. Anyone who showed an interest in going anywhere was referred to me, and I ended up sitting at the computer booking tickets the entire time while they ate and socialized. Getting time off was problematic too. Their needs always came first. When my husband's grandmother died they made a big stink about me wanting a couple of hours off to go to the funeral because the boss's daughter had a hair appointment that day.

Never again.
