Comment preview: I worked with a family run business (and have come from family business) so please listen when I say, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T START A BUSINESS WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND! There are so many things that go wrong and there are many hardships you will have to face ....


Comment preview: The worst thing ever done to me was when I was working for a family run business. I was the only non-family member employed there, they didn't own the business but had been trying to buy it from the current owner. I accidently left my $1,200 camera in the ....


Comment preview: A little sidetracked. I was the sysadmin for this family run business. My boss handed me a computer, claiming it belonged to a family member of the owners. I would fix their personal computers during business hours because they signed my paychecks. So afte ....


Comment preview: I was hired in an IT capacity at a medium sized, family run business. It isn't my specialty, but I needed a job to tide me over until better opportunities arose. A friend of mine was about to resign from the business's IT department to travel overseas; i ....

Comment preview: FUCKing lies! People need to quit putting this shit up online! Jesus. I have 8 years of wildlife and zoo experience and not ONCE have I seen one of our "painting animals" be treated like this. You want to know how we do it? It depends on the animal bu ....


Comment preview: You be the judge. Warning; this gets a bit long and quite pathetic. Let's start when I was 11 and when I had my very first crush on a girl in my class. I didn't know exactly what it was I was feeling but I knew that something made me want to be with her al ....
