A decade ago, after my matriculation, I couldn’t study further due to personal reasons, so I decided to do something to get myself income, so my uncle came to me and proposed that I should work for him while I was still figuring out what I would study or do with life.

I decided to work with him, and one thing I liked about his workplace is that I get along with other workers, and they don’t treat me differently. I worked hard to prove myself to my uncle until I realised that he actually doesn’t care about anyone but himself and money; his selfishness is

I recognised that there is more to life than working in an environment with toxic individuals. You work hard, but they make you feel as if you are getting paid for nothing, so when you work with drinks, you don’t have any free days, no time to go to school, and no time to study.

So I decided to quit my work and try to get a better job that would allow me to pay for school and have more free time to study; this is where the difficulty began.

My uncle now believes that I took everything wonderful he did for me and threw it at him; he no longer wants to see me or hear from my parents, particularly his own sister, because I thanked the job.

So, if you want to get along with your family member, avoid working with them.
