Paul, I do understand your feeling in this. There are many small businesses trying to compete with the larger and more power businesses out there. This happens because of the pressure they exert on themselves to compete and because of the petty mindedness they feel about their employees, and the feeling of power they have over them. Many love to belittle them. This is a very bad situation for somelike you are me to be in. Glad you have gotten out of it. bill

It only takes ONE of these "demon seeds" to turn the workplace into Hell on earth. Glad this one's an EX-employer!

Hi Paul,

I once used to work for a family runned business, it never worked out; as they expect me to be part of the family, and pried into my personal business, expected too much of me because they themselves had put a lot into the family runned business and they expected everyone else should feel they way they feel.

My employer sometimes unexpectedly appeared at my doorstep wanting favours from me or my hubby. We did it selflessly but it didn't go into their good books because our blood didn't run in their family, and of course we were not expected to be treated like family, but of course the work we have to share it and worked it like their family members.

I was so happy to be out of there the day I quit.

Good write on the subject, very thought-provoking indeed!
