Working with Family
Discussion
, but I don't know whether it will be too awkward or not. Anyone had any experience and would you do it or not? it has the potential for being awkward, but i dont think that would stop me. what might make me think long and hard about it is if you are planning on staying there for a long time and hopefully "progressing" ie moving up the ladder. would it be harder to justify you progressing in the company if you are family? would you want that situation.
just my thoughts.

How do you get on with your uncle?
I worked for my dad for many years. We fell out and I left for four years before he asked me to go back. I went back for another 8 years.
He then died in 99 and now I run the business.
I'd go for it if you get on ok with the guy, as long as you don't think he's after your current employers business rather than you.

Well thats the thing I never see him apart from birthdays and Christmasses and stuff but lately ive been seeing him more on site which has been weird.
I eventually want to go self employed and set up my own business. The only other problem is that the company I currently work for paid for my uni fees so I kind of feel I should stay to repay them or if I leave I would have to pay them myself which would mean the mx5 would have to go.

I run my own buisness and employ both my wife and my mother.
Needless to say, i have to make the coffee.
Its all good though. Family are much less likley to let you down, i find. There are obvious problems and relationship risks involved but your uncle has presumably thought it through before offering you the job. He must think that it will work out good for both of you.

Stay where you are, wouldn't want to lose your car!

depends how closely you work with them I guess, and if what the manager/worker roles are.
Well in my opinion my uncles business is smaller than the company im working for now and I get the impression I would have to chip in with other things as well as the QSing
which I don't like the idea of and as part of my contract I would have set working hours which I don't like either, here as long as my work is done I work what I like. I think I may have just convinced myself to stay put.

Yeah, but be carefull with your tool otherwise you will get it in her hair..
