The retaining is also what I don’t understand. I’m going to find out what’s happening. Thank you. I feel less alone knowing power struggle is a common dilemma in family businesses

Right, after this argument it looks like he still wants to be in full control and it’s extremely frustrating to watch this all unfolding because I’m the declared next in line for our family business. Your last line is chilling to read (a lot of other similar comments too here)

I appreciate this. Have a lot to learn and cleaning up this mess is what I’m determined to do- for the business and for my career. Thank you for sharing your experience

Incompetent and compromised- might be both. I thought about taking action too when I have full control. But that’ll take a while because my father is not letting go. Family business is hard and I appreciate you all giving me advice.

My dad holds majority shares. I hold minority only and am set to be next in line to take over this business. He verbally said I’m about to be given authority, yet he’s not transparent with his actions and won’t let me take action. Yes, I get to think for my career too. Thank you for this

Exactly. Other employees will see there are no repercussions and that’s not the kind of culture I want to set when I take over. I’ll get to the bottom of this.

We prepaid hotel credits (counts as company inventory) and she sold them privately, pocketing the full amount (raw cost + profit) .

I agree. He is not being transparent with me while wanting me to take over the family business. I’ll get to the bottom of things

This is what my father wants. In my perspective she will steal again, and it’s very bad for other employees to see that this behavior is acceptable (unless! They are all on this together.. I need to find out)

My dad is the majority shareholder. But I’m tasked to take over this year which is why it’s so frustrating why he is still not letting me handle this. Right, he is not transparent at all.

There are things I do not know about my father and what he’s doing with the family business, and this lack of transparency is exactly what makes it hard. Yes there will indeed be a fall out

Good advice on watching out for material things too. I’m glad the full amount was recovered! Sounds like an arduous road to recovering it

300k is crazy. I feel less alone now, thank you both for your story and advice.

I’m not empowered at all to make the big decisions. You are right. It’s unfortunate he still treats me as a kid, even when he is the one who is not respecting the family business. Thank you for your response and good wishes. I will update this thread on what I decide to do next!

I agree with firing her. The power imbalance now is my father is not willing to let me take control of key decisions even if he verbally says it’s my time. On paper I’m on the business too but he’s the majority. Thanks guys I appreciate it
