I work in an SME run by a close-knit family. Normally it’s fine, but things get tricky when some of the family members feud with each other. For those of us who don’t share the same last name, it’s like treading a tightrope when talking to the other ‘clans’. It is so inefficient, especially doing projects with different departments, let alone getting deals done. The politics and environment is toxic. We don’t even think about career advancement or promotion. What do people do in this kind of company?
