(possibly former employee of)Family-owned business:
No matter how good you are at your craft, the best friend's kid they hired will be better.
When those family members get into a row and try to get you involved, politely and half-jokingly state you can't get involved.
Bosses don't want to hear what they're doing wrong, even if it means running the business into the ground. If they ask for suggestions, give positive ones, not "well, maybe if you hadn't spent $xxxx on yyyy...."
If you find incriminating evidence about a boss, don't tell the other one. Save it for those "special" times.(hehehehe) Or let the other one find out on their own.
Be prepared to be the first one to be let go. They don't want to face their best friend after firing their kid, so the kid stays.
