Worked under my dad in his company for two years. On $80K, pulling long hours, doing everything I could to support the business.

I asked for a pay rise - just $20K more.

He delayed me for two months. When I followed up, he said, “The business can’t afford it.”

I’d seen the numbers. He could.

Just a reminder: if your own family won’t reward your loyalty, don’t expect it from your boss either.
