Reddit he gave the family business to my brother But yeah. He says it makes the most sense because my older brother is his oldest child and has been in this business the longest. Working for my family business gave me motivation to study harder in school so I can get a stable job and not work at this hellhole anymore. I didn't even give them my address. I'm hurt. We had worked in the company for 10ish years before doing that - but I’ve seen other next-generation people coming in and taking over for their owner/operator parent over a 2-3 year time frame as well. It’s his business which he made from the scratch and I’m helping in the ways he wants me to and where I can. After a few weeks my parents and brother along with his family came to visit completely unannounced to have a tour of my home. We’re getting increasingly excited about the idea but know that family and business isn’t always the greatest mix. There were a lot of naysayers, including my parents, siblings, and some other relatives saying how I should have let my grandfather sell the business, thinking he would never see the rest of the money, I owed him. aokjlfskaymfvgjoltoiviqgxrnvldyyeyqnemvhnnhpouyqmurblfbxotykbhglnlnkkziluf
