I work at a family-run business. There are only 5 of us in an office of about 20 that are not related. The daughter of one of the family members recently started feeling "overwhelmed" doing a job a non-family member did for years without help. Guess what? The rest of us have to help her do her job now because the mother complained about the "work overload". Fresnelly is right...jerks do raise jerks.
