... also another thing a degree doesn't always beat personal experience dealing with the issues of the job. Walmart is finally realizing this that managers don't need a degree and in the past many small, family, and non-degree operating people businesses weren't built or made from people with degrees. I think degrees can help but based on my personal experience people with only a degree are never as good as the person working from ground up showing competence.
Experience is irrelevant, its all about ego. Since if he was not arrogant, and chose to learn from senior staff rather than fire them, he had every opportunity to do really well.
@mystikmind2005 The senior staff spent years working for the company. They have the experience. Which is why he should have listened to them. So, experience is not irrelevant. I've seen it time and time again. People with no experience, no knowledge about what they are doing get hired. And they always screw up. Some of them came close to bankrupting a multi-million dollar company.
@@adilrasheed5295 "The senior staff spent years working for the company." Yes, and that is exactly why experience was not relevant to why the company went bad. The new boss had access via those staff to all the experience he needed to be successful. But ego prevented him from benefiting from that experience So in the end he failed because of his ego, NOT lack of experience.... And this is the case with many new bosses that come in to a workplace.... ego is the killer.
Besides the possible A.I. you should look up Narcissistic personality disorder, it ticks everything about entitlement, lack of empathy, victim blaming, lying and a popular one: gaslighting. There are several types but a thing in common is that they lie better than they breathe, they portrait themselves as good people and everybody believes them.
Because that's how it is in real life. As soon as something wrong happens in the family, such accusations are immediately there. And this statement is based on personal experience, as are the subsequent apologies to me. And those making such accusations, as a rule, are the ones who made that mess.
I like how she has zero involvement with the company, let alone a position where she'd be able to take legal action on its behalf but she is the one who sent the legal threat.
@@blender4464 That little insight is what tells you its a FAKE story, but overall, everything was reasonably plausible, far better than many other stories on TH-cam.
If he bought the business he would inherit their debts. Even if he bought it from a bankruptcy sale he would still be buying the reputation. All he needed from the family company was the clients and the employees. The company had nothing else he wanted or needed.
If someone fresh graduated from college but never even enter work environment (at least part time job as waitress or something) they're as good as anyone graduated from high school in my opinion, you still have to teach them step by step before letting them taking any control in any department
I love this story. It's definitely fake, but it's a good story. A solid 1st act with a good solid intro to all the characters and roles. a nice turbulent 2nd act where the main protagonist is given a challenge. And a good 3rd act where he overcomes the obsicals and comes out better than before. BRAVO!! BRAVO!! if I was a Hollywood guy I would definitely steal this
I feel you OP, for parents to choose their grandchildren over their children. Those recurring abandonment shattered my heart every time. Alas I’ve make an amend and I have my father on my side who gave the upmost unconditional support to make me feels important and take me to a new height and position in life.

Yes Forgive them and then move on with your Life, do not become entrenched in the family drama, when we forgive it doesn't mean you leave yourself open for abuse, Forgiveness will ultimately give you Peace, and your family can move on with their own lives.
This is so stupid. It’s not like the father is 162 years old, what’s stopping him from coming out of retirement to save his company? If he built I would assume he knows it.
so, this is just me assuming but... it sounds like OP's sister put the kid through college for the sole purpose of getting a business degree so she could manipulate Dad into giving the company to her son which bad call OP's dad the grand kid has zero experience running anything let alone being qualified to be a CEO also anyone else find it odd that OP's dad didn't come out of retirement to try and save the company i mean surely his intervention would have been a bit of damage control at the very least
The other comments i like stated that OP should offer to buy the family business and fire the CEO nephew, then OP could merge and become CEO of both companies.
If father and OP created the company, why does the father not step and coach the CEO? He should be capable after retirement? Sincerely, I have to not think at all when listening to these histories 🙄
Since they wanted to keep it business he should have sued them. Contract or not the amount of time he has been working there and the fact that it's been a success shows that he has been earning them money which they will continue earning so he would have an argument.
I'd be like "Fine, I am going an a long, long holiday. Don't call me while nephew runs the family business into the ground. I'll buy what's left from the curator". Life is too short for enduring morons.
Qué situación tan injusta y dolorosa. Después de tantos años de esfuerzo y dedicación, es realmente difícil que tus padres te reemplacen sin considerar todo lo que has hecho por el negocio familiar. Te mereces al menos una explicación y un reconocimiento por todo tu trabajo
3:42, "My Parents tried to talk me out of Quitting", No Duh, They expected you to do all the work since you had massive amounts of Experience, and he knew jack. 4:58, "Especially when we First started up the Company, and now it felt like he was Throwing me away", Maybe because he was. Because he obviously didnt care about you when he decided to Kick out the guy who was in the Trenches with him for 12 years for a Noob with Zero Experience. 16:03, "So your just gonna throw us away", Why not, you did that very same thing to your Own Son. Why shouldnt he do the same to you since its family tradition. 24:04, Honestly I would have had my Lawyer file a Countersuit for Harassment. 30:04, "An Apology", I call B*LLSH*T, He isnt seeking forgiveness, he is seaking Money.
that nephew just trashed his own future just to be a CEO. He'll never lead a business again in his entire life. He's better off as a stock person. op's parents will die penniless. The sister? I'm betting she has an affair with mike. Good for her, but if she's got a kid from him.. hell is going to break loose!
99% of these stories are only half true, the first half with the betrayal is always true, but the revenge is never true, he's writing this in his office at the family business after hours cause Mike messed something up and he's cleaning it up
29:51 Apart from OP's parents, no one had turned their back on him, on the contrary. The employees and customers have all supported him from the beginning.It is possible to keep the story at least in the same line of reasoning. I know this was done in 3 minutes by an AI, but come on, at least try.
I personally feel like u took it waaaayyy to personally bc it's not like they betrayed u or anything but however that's just me BUT I DO AGREE THAT YOUR PARENTS WERE FY,B ASH BC HOW COULD THEY JUST LET YOYR NEPHEW DESTROY THE BUSINESS LIKE THAT LIKE FRFR
The main character is so petty and vindictive. Serious flaw of character. at first sign not getting what he wanted, he runs away, and when trouble started he relished in demise of his parent company.
@@ExileXCross Dude, the reactions and reasoning are beyond silly and shallow even when hearing his side of it. So wait he was given an opportunity in the company that his parent built and invested in, yes he worked his ass off, but we all do. and he wasn't demoted insulted or anything, he just didn't get the big boss seat. And on top of that he was complacent with the money he was getting from there so he could casually quit for a couple of months till searching for the next opportunity and watch his family's company go to ruin because he wasn't promoted when he thought he should. I could understand that they fired him, demoted him, took away his privileges or etc. If he waited for a couple months in his current position, his parents would see the mistake, and would have made the switch in a heart beat. But no, our hero enjoys while his coworkers, business partners and family's lose jobs time, money, and laughs, because it serves his revenge plan. I'd say very petty.
@@year256kFOX It's a BUSINESS, ffs take family out it and review the situation. Would you after busting your chops at a company tolerate a new hire, no experience coming in, gets paid more than you, while you do more to add to the company's bottom line are significantly more experienced than the new hire, and expected to prop him/her on top of it. He did what ANY employee in his position would do and justified in doing so, but throw 'family' and suddenly he's 'shallow, petty, and poor of character' for having some self-respect.

If I have to hear the phrase "You're tearing this family apart" one more damn time!!
I agree hearing that phrase is like a punch to the gut!
i experience a whirlwind of emotion everytime
You are tearing this channel apart. 😁😂
Maybe, just maybe, they won't say it next time. It'll be like I can breathe again.
Right they always blame the victim of tearing the family apart instead of blaming the people who are the reason the family is falling apart
Moral of the story: unless you have a contract and obvious benefits, DO NOT work for family.
... also another thing a degree doesn't always beat personal experience dealing with the issues of the job. Walmart is finally realizing this that managers don't need a degree and in the past many small, family, and non-degree operating people businesses weren't built or made from people with degrees.

The moral of the story is that experience is always better than fresh out of college
Companies are relearning this old fact again.

22 yo, nephew, entire blood line sided with the nephew, none of it made sense.
It’s probably a fake story.
Maybe he came from an Ivy league school. Many people prefer this to actual experience sometimes.
People are irrational when it comes to these things
This channel only runs AI stories.

Don't know which phrase is worst " tearing the family apart" or "were family" when family makes bad decision
Yes, it is right up there with “then they double downed” and “family helps family”.
I don't understand the sister's plan. It didn't sound like she'd get any benefit from what she did.
Only one sibling mentioned. So she's probably the nephews mother.
She's the mother of Mike, therefore she would get money out of it and social status
I like how she has zero involvement with the company, let alone a position where she'd be able to take legal action on its behalf but she is the one who sent the legal threat.

Pure ego on her part. The Dad said "as smart as his Mom". Putting a kid out of school in charge of a company? Seriously? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
i mean you think a fresh 22 year old that never work a day in the field fail miserably I'm shocked, I'm shock I say...
I'm shocked you think the story is real.
@@justicedemocrat9357 I am shocked we are responding to these comments
I was half expecting that he would buy the business from under them and make it a subsidiary. His Entrepreneurship payed off relatively fast.
Nah, even EA knows better than to buy a ship after it already sank.
If he bought the business he would inherit their debts. Even if he bought it from a bankruptcy sale he would still be buying the reputation. All he needed from the family company was the clients and the employees. The company had nothing else he wanted or needed.

For leadership, yes, for other things not as much...depends a lot upon the specifics of the field.

Thank you so much 🤗
I wish the person playing the game would do new footage, if you search so hard for the stories maybe you should do the same for the background video…
Never do business with family!!!
22:27 what hits harder is probably when a stranger, albeit it is coworker or client, but they value your worth more than your family.
22 year old? From business school? That kid must be a genius. There's usually a baccalaureate degree required to enter graduate school.
If it's anywhere like Spain, you can finish a degree at age 22 as long as you pass all of your subjects on the first try.
Oh I remember this one . They changed mike from son in law to the dads grandchild
Do you remember where it's from? It looks like something you'd find on Reddit but I'm not sure which subreddit to look in.
You should flesh out the nephew and sister scenario. Then it would be great.
This is so stupid. It’s not like the father is 162 years old, what’s stopping him from coming out of retirement to save his company? If he built I would assume he knows it.
Nice to hear a great story from a human!!!

also anyone else find it odd that OP's dad didn't come out of retirement to try and save the company i mean surely his intervention would have been a bit of damage control at the very least
"i've never seen you this happy" their wedding must of been complete ass. lol
Family business with lawsuits pending, yeah no brainer to pass on that dumpster fire.
Family couldn't care less about me, so why should I care about it?
Guy thought he would inherit his father’s retirement fund.
7:51 Treat it like a buddhist mandala. A thing given time and concentration, but ephemeral. It makes things hurt a lot less.
"Mike"? That's a funny way to spell Ryan Howard.
Not your circus, not your monkeys.
With experience, you can build a empire of your own from scratch. So it's not his actual lost
Great story wich is different, and solid
The sister was the failure so the parents made their nephew the CEO so they can win on both fronts.
The other comments i like stated that OP should offer to buy the family business and fire the CEO nephew, then OP could merge and become CEO of both companies.
Not only will you fail, but in going to take your company down & make sue you fail!!!
Have documentation signed that you own 51% of the company, simple contract negotiation. 😊
If father and OP created the company, why does the father not step and coach the CEO? He should be capable after retirement? Sincerely, I have to not think at all when listening to these histories 🙄
Ok so give them the CEO treatment then.
Since they wanted to keep it business he should have sued them. Contract or not the amount of time he has been working there and the fact that it's been a success shows that he has been earning them money which they will continue earning so he would have an argument.

More than half of the video is him yapping
This story has been told. Last time it was his sister. The time before his brother.
Next time, hopefully with a less distracting background. Yeesh.
Start you own business, take the best crews, old leads, and as many clients as you can.
Dump them as far as work is concerned. Go get your own thing. So.... Move Forward.
Good story, just like the last three times it has been posted
I would have been on social media making fun of my mom dad, nephew and sister
Hire Op as CEO. Fire the nephew. Get a contract with benefits and work as a trial run. And you are in control.

Hm? Just finished listening to a very similar story on a different channel except the grandson's name was Kyle.
This is why you don’t work with or for family members.
