who was very busy and needed the help.i have a college degree, very computer savvy and in just a few weeks i learned how to do everything his secretary can do.i also became a cargo adjuster for my dad.he does not pay me any more for the extra work that i do. His secretary is in her 60s and is completely retarded when it comes to computers.i have taken my dads company from a paper to paperless office and the place can not run with out me.i have a year old son that comes with me to work two days a week.on the days that my son is with me i leave a little early so i can get him home, fed, bathed ect.His secretary has started to complain about me leaving early and my dad has started to yell at me 4 it.4 the last 2 weeks she has been over an hour late and i have not said anything the way i see it, she gets paid more, does not do half of the stuff i do, gets two weeks of vacation (i don't get vacation) and i think leaving early makes up for all that. Do you think?

If you can actually sit down and talk with him, have an outline of how his office was before you started and show all the work that you have done, and where his office is n ow. Ask for a raise and say that you have a family to support and that you feel it is fair for a raise. If you present it to him professionally he will might be more inclined to respect your presentation.
If you get all mad and fussy with him, he won't.
If he still doesn't do anything, then find another job.

Its absolutely awful to work for your parents Their expectations are high and wages (if any ) are low.You are now in a bind, because you've changed the way the office works. You either have to ask for a raise or offer to help find your dad someone competent to do the job the secretary is supposed to do. leaving early does not make up for squat. its not a competition. You took on the responsibility of the job now stick with it. You need to prove to your dad that you are good at what you do, and are punctual at all times. nit picking behind his back will get you nowhere. you need to grow up or move on. The boss is always the boss you do as he says and never mind that he's your dad and you think you can walk all over him.

I swear to you that i understand he is your dad. I have been in a very simular situation with a uncle who owned a doctors office that i help to run and people was hired they got paid more that me and i had to train them ugh how mad does it make me. She get paid more than me and i have to train her and teach her what i know plus more. we both do the same work with different titles and she gets paid more.
I had to quit.
I understand he is your dad. You can't live your life through him and vice versa OK. Let him do him, if he isn't going to respect you enough to "trust you are willing to do everything she has done plus your job". Which was my case i was doing about 5 peoples jobs , sterilizing instruments, running credit reports, taking payments, posting payments, taking over 10,000 to the bank. ETC. running the office when the manager was out.
I think you shouldn't feel bad that you need to do what you need to for yourself. Which may be quitting your dads job. It will also help to end some tention in your relationship.
Good Luck

Force to work for your dad that is all i needed to read. Nothing is wrong with that after Katrina too. Your college degree! Help u get a job. Your dad is Great. EXamine yourself and see how blessing flow. With your degree and all that is like building a city. God will we done, Pray son for yourself and your family. The purpose for a man to having many children is for building a nation (city). And you do not want to work because of your degree, probably he paid for.

I think it is time for you to show your father some tough love. If he is going to treat you, as an employee then you need to stand up to him like you would any employer. Sit down with him with a list of things that you would like offered to you if he still wants you to work for him, and if he cannot come to an agreement with you then it is time for you to look for another employment with benefits think about it, you have your child to consider. Family maybe family, but business is business!

I think you should talk to your dad about it. He is probably stressed and doesnt know your point of view. I think that he is probably not as hard on the other lady because she is older and has been there for longer and he doesnt want to make it look like he has favorites. I feel for your situation. Good luck!

It's time to sit down and have a talk with our dad. He needs to appreciate you for the work you do for him. Treat it like you are talking to an employer instead of your dad, tho.

Print this whole section out and drop it on his desk to read.
Father or not, he should not be taking advantage of you and you certainly shouldn't be getting yelled at.
The hurricane is long gone... time for you to move on and hopefully not to flood plain !!! Say bye to dad and get your life started !
