When Dad’s the Boss but Not on My Side 😢💼

Working at my dad’s tech startup in Seattle was supposed to be a dream come true. I always thought family would stick together, especially at work. But everything changed when two new team members joined our project. Suddenly, I felt like an outsider in my own family’s company—cold shoulders, inside jokes, and whispers behind my back. I tried to ignore it, but the gossip only got worse. When I finally went to my dad for help—hoping he’d understand—he just told me not to be so sensitive and to toughen up. It felt like my feelings didn’t matter at all, and I started to dread going to work every day. Have you ever felt let down by someone you trusted most? I’d really love to hear your stories. Let’s support each other through these tough family moments. 💬 #FamilyBusiness #WorkplaceDrama #ToxicWorkCulture #FamilyRelationships
