How to build a career in your parents' company? 1. Don't take the vice president position right away. You need to learn the company from the ground up. Starting as a senior manager would be reasonable. Let everyone see that you're climbing step by step. 2. Don't say you got the job through connections. Say that the owners recognized your potential. Your father has been watching your development for 23 years. No recruiter has spent as much time with the other candidates. 3. Earn the respect of older employees. Don't worry that some of them have been with the company longer than you've been alive. They have experience. You have a fresh perspective. And the owner's phone number saved as "Dad." 4. Don't misuse your position. Treat your father at work like any other boss. If you disagree on something, discuss it professionally. Preferably on a Sunday over chicken soup. 5. Start making changes. After three weeks in the company, you should already notice things that people who have worked there for twenty years don't see. It's natural. They are tainted by experience. 6. Show that you also started from the bottom. From time to time, go down to regular employees and help them for half an hour. It's best to take a picture. In a few years, you will be able to say that you have gone through every level in the company. 7. Don't demand a promotion. Let it come naturally. Manager. Director. Board member. President. Don't rush. You have a full two years for that. 8. Separate your professional life from your personal life. At work, your father is your boss. At home, he is your father. Therefore, leave the conversation about bonuses for the holidays. Grandma can be a good mediator. 9. Ensure financial independence from your parents. Don't take money from them privately. You're not a child anymore. Let the company pay for the car, phone, and fuel card. That's a completely different relationship. 10. After years, tell your story on LinkedIn. Write that you started from zero. That you didn't get anything for free. That the most important things were hard work, humility, and consistency. Don't mention the company from your father. They asked about the road to success. #FIRE (translated)

I allowed myself to have a small talk today with one of our security employees. A fascinating experience from which I was able to draw an important conclusion. If you come across accounts on social media that post aggressive comments every few minutes before 6 AM, mainly on political topics, they are not bots but retired security guards who are starting to lose it before the end of their shift.
