Oh, I've had some bad experiences too. All related to one of my Nephews that was CEO whom is no longer at the company or speaking to anyone in the family. He wanted to hire all manfacturing and support out to other companies and put everyone out of a job so he would have less work to do.

At one point I was in charge of Engineering, Graphic Arts, Catalog, Literature, Drafting, Email, Internet Security and the Web site and produced a monthly newsletter for an unrelated business in English and Spanish. Got demoted serveral times and now only Email Administrator and manage DNS.

The demotions started when I took care of my Mom for two months after her first stroke. All the stuff I was in charge of never skipped a beat even though I did not show up at the office during those two months. Instead of being promoted for everything running so smoothly I was told I knew how to do too many things too well. Never cut my pay, but should have been promoted and given more pay instead of being demoted.

Pretty much lost all my loyalty and initiative and only do exactly what I'm asked, not more, no less and make sure to not put in any more than 8 hrs a day no matter how quickly anything is needed.

The worse part is that it is a "christian" family business and my brother is the President and Chairman of the Board.
