What is wrong with my parents?

Question

I just got this great job working at a online university as an admissons advisor. My parents were happy that i got a job like that. My god it pays well and has sooooooo many perks. Anyway i am soooo glad i dont have to work at my dads shop being a receptionist oh god i hated it with a passion anyway i gave my dad a 2weeks notice. But he couldnt find anyone who could do the job so he rehired the old receptionist he who couldnt stand. So he asked me on saturdays could work because its the busiest day
so i said fine until i get my first check i cant wait to c how it looks i never ever made more that 7.50 per hour now 20.00. Anyway i told my dad that once i get my check i am not going to be working on saturdays because i want to rest because i have to get up very early to get to my job, i can work overtime when ever i feel like it and make more money than with my dad. My mom was like well dont you want to make more money i said yea thats i will work until the 15th of august when i get....

my first check. she was furious but i personally think its better for me. besides i will be only get a 60.00 for working that day with my dad. but i get time and a 1/2 for over time and i get to set my schedule.

i get time and a half with my job and the boss is soooo cool.

i am not quitting my new job for sh!t ASKHOLE. It was so hard to get this job u have no idea. and i am not going to turndown a $800.00 a week job with FULL BENEFITS and go back to 300.00 dollars working 12 hours a day i dont think so. I dont mind working saturdays until the 15th of august. thats when my real schedule starts and that demands full attention.

mind u have worked with my dad for like hmmmmm a year. I worked very very hard to get this job. so yes i did give him a 2weeks notice i told before when i starting working there if i found something better i am moving on. i worked naturally black a$$ off at my dad place of business. i took crap off of customers worked with out a damn lunch break and worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week so please do not tell me about taking my parents for granted. i dont mind working there till the 15th of aug. I dont think thats asking too much and its more than enough time to find somebody else.

Answer 1

I think the new job sounds great, I don't blame you for wanting to stay there I believe I would do the same. My suggestion is maybe you could help your parents by helping them to find a suitable replacement. It seems like you might be in a place to meet people and find them a good person. Sometimes things come up as oppurtunities for both parties involved.

Answer 2

Wow,great for you and your new job!!! That is fantastic. Your father on the the other hand,is most likely happy for you,and hurt that you didn't want to stay in the family business. Please give him some lead way,ok. I'm,sure that in time he will be able to hire a very competent person. Maybe he will be missing the time that he has with you. Could your mother fill in for the absence that will be there? Maybe tell your father that you could help out at least once a month,and not drop him all the way. But congratulations on the new job. Just keep in mind that family is all that you have in the present time,that when the time comes when your love ones part on this earth,you will most likely do anything just to have them with you....Good Luck....dimples

Answer 3

Congratulations on the new job. You sound excited as you should be. BUT, in your excitement don't forget about your parent feelings. This is not a typical employer / employee relationship. The two weeks notice is likely a shock to them.
My suggestion is to make a win win situation out of this. Help them as much as you can but in the meanwhile look for someone that can fill the job better than you did. You must have friends and friends of friends that will know someone who may be perfect for the position you are leaving. Use your skills as an admissions advisor to feel people out. Make a going away gift of this to your folks.
When we are young and in a hurry to start our own lives, we tend to take our parents for granted. Parents never take their kids for granted. Help them with their busuness while you can and visit them often. Life is short.

Answer 4

Congratulations on finding another job and one that you love! As for your parents, let this be a reminder and a lesson as to why it's not a good idea to work for family members. You know the problems it can cause.
