    It all depends on the kind of boss you have as well as the type of family member you are dealing with.

    My boss gave a shot to his nephew a few years ago, I fired the nephew 2 weeks later

    I fire this one twice a week but they just laugh and remind me that I don't have that authority

    The boss kids can't be your boss as well... Tell them to get up do something.

    Do your employees a favor and don't hire your children!

    We could probably save a lot of frustration and just broaden this thread to "Don't hire dumb people"

    Yes!

    I was the boss' kid in college. Dad was twice as hard on me. I got ALL the crappy jobs. He also watched me on the surveillance camera. If I stopped for second to ask a mechanic a question, he would call me out over the P A system. Totally humiliating! Everyone would laugh

    But it made me a better employee at other companies.

    Definitely depends on the boss. My friend had a rrally hard time since her boss thought his kid was like the best thing that happened to Earth and baby Jesus foesnt have anything on him. But my other friend was lucky. At her company the boss's kid actually does work. The kid isnt allowed to call her boss dad haha
