I work with a family member.
it is his company. I work hard and long hours, weekends, above and beyond what I need to do to keep his afloat on the paperwork and bills if he succeeds I succeed with great checks and bonuses.
several times a month he blows up at me, screams yells everything infront of employees, clients in office and on while their on the phone.
I've been told to just do my job, then told I "can't do my job" he has to do it for us. I was just told that I am jealous of one of the employees. I said the only better with that person is she is a size 2 or something. His response and your jealous that's why there is always problems that I "make up" with her.
WHY is this, I just want to give up. and it is worse my dad works around the office doing his projects on the computer and hears this and tells me to just let it go he is the boss and can handle it. I am so sick of being told to shut up all day.
I just said I want my check and left. I am so upset and really just can go on.

You never said if you were actually jealous but I guess that's beside the point. Not all of us can be a size 2... or 4 or 6 or whatever. It's not good to feel disrespected. Would it be an option to consider finding a job elsewhere?

Don't let him or anyone make you feel bad about yourself. And I think your dad is wrong not to take up for you. But thats just my opinion. I hope you can find another job. Its sad that you're trying so hard to help him and his company and thats how he treats you. It sounds like he's taking advantage of you.

oh not I am not jealous of her weight, she is a young 21/22 year old working her. I trained her most all of what she knows. When she doesn't follow protocal or procedures or verfication of our orders it goes back to me. I am her manager. I get chewed out for her screw ups inside of him going to her and saying this is what is to be done no matter what. Infact most of the procedures are MY implemented ideas so heck ya I am doing them right she isn't. MAYBE the only this is I am wishing I was skinny and speak fluent spanish like her. I earn nearly 2x her check weekly married with 2 kids.

Is there a way to get sick for a week so he can realize the value of YOU?

Sometimes I think families have a warped view that you should take things and not say anything to keep peace in the family. No matter whats done or said to you. you should just put up with it and don't say anything. No one should have to do that whether its family or just anyone that does that to you.

I'm confused. What makes you think that he disrespects you due to your body size? Are you sure that he does not just expect more out of you becasue you are family and as you said being paid 2X more than the size 2 girl?
