A short excerpt from a YouTube video discussion about the challenges when family members mix personal relationships with business roles. The speakers describe blurred lines between friendship and management, and how frankness or perceived slights between relatives (brothers, friends) can create conflict in a business setting.
I never talked to my brother about business at all. That was just the blurred lines of family and, like, the fact that, like, yes, you can be blunt, but, like, they also, like. Ah, it's Dustin. Yeah, we're friends.
Oh, he's just mad again.
Yeah. Yeah. Versus someone else being like, no, you stink of being a gm because you did exactly the opposite of what he told you to do.
Yeah. Okay. One of my best friends from high school is running my Billington location. My cousin from Kansas City is running my Champagne location. I know my communication is lacking because, like, two of them are wearing jeans today. The two new guys that started yesterday wore jeans yesterday. They wore jeans today. Or. I told both GMs, okay, no one is to start unless all their paperwork is filled out and they have access to all their apps. Told them that on Tuesday, Monday, he started a guy. Nothing filled out. And then, Kyle, no debris to be dumped out here. Just. It's my thing. I don't want the mess there. And then you're shoveling it back on. Dump stuff out there.
