HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I need your opinions people. I'm 19 years old and I work for my fiances dad. There are basically only 4 people that work here, and im the sales manager. He keeps comming down on me because of sales and yet he wont put any money into the company. He just makes a ton of excuses why every problem is everyone elses fault but his. So do you think I should find another job and go back to school or keep working for him and just tough it out?


Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Will

Asking a question like this does none of us justice because no one any idea what this job is actually like. I, personally, cannot stand when management comes down on employees like you described. Especially if one of those employees happens to be me. If it's extremely troublesome, then fuck it, but if you need the job...tough it out I guess.

take a poop in a bag and light in on fire in his mail box :thumbsup:

people respect it when you set them straight
take him aside where no one can hear
and talk to him man to man
make it a point to be heard
he most likely wont agree with you
and you two may end up squabbling a lil
but in the long run he will respect you and may even listen

JUST BE SURE AND KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
GET SOME GOOD OLD CONCRETE FACTS THAT BACK UP WHAT YOU SAY

Hmm thats a tough one i mean, you dont want to lose his respect or anything, i think you should just be straight with him i mean if its too much for you to handle then just tell him, whats the pay like, im guessing its good and more than any other normal job you would end up getting but you should still tell him how you feel.. maybe lend him the money?

For all you know he could be going bankrupt, maybe you should talk to him about selling the business if he doesnt have enough money to run the business properly then its simple.. he should not have one.

go back to school, these days it dosnt get you quite as far without a college degree, no offense to anyone

either man up and tell him off/tell him how it is.. .or get a new job...

i don't think you should stick around there just cuz it's your future dad in law... matter of fact i actually advise against that... it's almost always bad to do buisness with family/friends...

Thanks you everyone for your opinions, I appreciate them. But, I have my decision and Im going to give my two weeks notice on Monday. Ill let you guys know how it goes!!

Thanks again,

Indy....I think that is the right decision. Congratulations on your engagement. :)

You and him should talk things over between a joint :jointsmile:....but really just tell him that maybe your thinking of going back to school or working elsewhere and dont really make it seem like its him making you want leave but the failing company.

Good idea on leaving. I think friendowl had a good point, that would have been a good step, and if things didn't improve then the 2weeks notice would have been next. But your mind's set.

Really, you're young only once. Take advantage of it and go to school. It doesn't take that long to complete and you'd rather not regret it down the line. As for the job, trust me, I've learned that if a job isn't treating you right, it's not worth it. I've tried to fix things on numerous occasions and come to the conclusion that you should give it one good effort, and if that doesn't work, it isn't ever going to. So in those situations, I put in my 2 weeks and bounce like a hot check. I do say my goodbyes respectfully to employees who deserve it. But I make it clear to those who need to know exactly why I'm leaving.

I think you're making a good choice. Good luck.
