So that’s how you show respect to your employer? Being the boss’s kid means you have to do everything better than any of your co-workers and still expect to take crap for not doing it well enough. Is it pseudo-pledgeship bullshit? Absolutely, but nobody else in that office is going to be handed the keys to the kingdom. Earn it.
This is your father, and while there may be no end to a father’s love an employer doesn’t take too kindly to his possible successor disrespecting him on a daily basis.
If you want to take over the company some day give your father reason to believe you’ll be a success, not a douche.
This really completely rests on the decorum of the office and the situations that are presented. I work at my family company and am a executive level officer. There are many situations around the office in a given day that I will call my father “Dad” but I also call him “Dude” when I am just addressing him on an issue that we are both working on.
However- many times a week we’re in situations where the third party in attendance doesn’t even know we’re related. I have been at negotiating tables with my father and called him by his first name for hours, I seamlessly fold between calling him by Dad and his first name.
What about his last name? Great question. When the company was young, and I was in elementary school, my Mom and Dad were running the whole thing together. We lost a major account due to the company feeling that we were a “Mom and Pop Shop” Thusly, from that point on, my Father used his middle name for his last and disarmed that issue. We have a lot of those original connections, and many of them know the truth, but we maintain it.
From my perspective you don’t honor or dishonor your Father by calling him by his first name, you honor your Father by being a shining example of his genetics. I work harder, longer, and carry more of the companies issue around on my shoulders than anyone other than my Father. Even the longest serving employee leaves on the weekend and his head clears of his commitments to a much greater extent than mine ever could.
It’s admirable that we all give a shit. That’s why we’re leaders of companies and campuses across the world.
Ok- Back to work before the boss catches me slacking on TFM.
^ Why did you just write a book? I have no intention of reading what you wrote, but I assume is has something to do with respecting parents, calling parents by the correct name, and other respectful issues.
Several people with attention spans and an interest in the topic read that. Stop being so illiterate. It looks Plebeian. I know you’re better than that.
Though I respect the positive and altruistic attitude toward capitalism and respect for your family, I must say that Zeta Chi is nothing but an organization of Bastard Step-Children who spend most of their time sucking each other off. Congrats on your two week pledgeship and the inferiority complex you now have chiseled into you for life.
I hope he smacks you

13 years ago at 2:51 pm^This. The page for addy rants can be found under the discussions tab. The page for rants about you life story can be found under the TSM tab.
13 years ago at 2:56 pm^ and ^^. How does it feel to not be able to read fast? It’s five paragraphs, not a five hundred page legal brief.
13 years ago at 3:21 pm^ that, especially because zeta chi is fucking correct.
13 years ago at 3:27 pmStrategically there may be a reason for doing so but again, generally speaking, calling your father by his first name is simply disrespectful.
13 years ago at 4:00 pmWho in the fuck actually read that?
