have any of you worked for the same company as a family member?
a job has just arisen at the company my dad works for and it sounds right up my street and gonna put me forward for it.
is it a bit strange? any problems etc?
it'd be a big payrise for me and sounds like a great job.
just wanted some oppinions.

But at my place of work, like half the company has somebody related to them working here also. Theres cousins, mothers, sons, husbands and wives...
I dont know how they do it. I take work as a chance to get away from the people I'm around all the time, not to see them more
But if its a good job, who really cares. Plus I'm sure you wouldn't be working side by side with him. I've never seen any problems with the people here that work with family members.
i worked with my dad once, but i was only a wee temp and he was a big boss, so our paths barely ever crossed, and it was fine.
plus i got lifts to and from work :cool:
Having said that, since I moved to uni the only time I ever seem to see her is at work!
Where I work, we have two father and son combinations, where the fathers are the direct bosses/team leaders to their sons. As far as I know there have never been any problems with it. The only thing that's not allowed is one relative to be present at the interview to another, nor play any part in a disciplinary hearing. Luckily, that's never come up yet!
