I don't think I ever want to own a business that hires employees, because I know how many rules there are to stay legal. Let alone to keep your employees happy. It requires consistent work, accurate lunch breaks, pleasant communication, limited harassment outside of the actual workplace, yearly raise evaluations and a little appreciation None of which seem to be important to some business owners. And I happen to work for one. Now, I have worked for two others before, but I've never been stuck in one of those jobs this long. And unfortunately, there is no "bringing this issue to their attention" in this situation. this is who they are. And I've often discovered this when husbands and wives run a business together, that stuff falls between the cracks. And it just kind of sucks. Especially when you as an employee, falls between the cracks. At this point, it's better to just look for another job. Which, I'm constantly doing, but rarely with much avail. It's a dog eat dog world out there, and it's just not happening. I know that some day, everything will be fine, that these are just pointless bitchy musings that will fade over time -but still, it's hard to go to work with a good attitude knowing that the best part of your day is already over. Hopefully your job brings you more joy than mine does.
Love,
Alice
