Right or wrong or indifferent , I quit my job an hour ago

[Spider]

my brother caught me in the wrong mood , if anyone else talked to me the way he did , they would be on a soup diet until their dentures came in ...But he is my Brother , I love him , dont want to hurt him , so the best thing is for me to walk away ...........

Sorry to hear there was a problem, Spider... sometimes it's difficult when "work" also involves family. Hopefully another opportunity is waiting right around the corner for you and that you and your brother can work things out between the two of you.

I don't blame you a bit... you absolutely do need to be there with your wife and kids.

It sounds like you and your bro will figure things out.... who knows, he may think about things a while and begin to see the situation from your perspective. Good luck! :)

If I had a bad temper , there wouldnt have been any talking at all , I just would have knocked him on his ass ............. I showed alot of self control

well I have been fired and quit 15 times in the last year ;D
this time was different this time I wanted to deck him ........ Probably cause we got into it in front of other people

You are a pillar of control

[Spider]

see the problem is , I let my Brother talk to me that way in front of people , others think they can do the same , think of me as a doormat ....... I had to draw a line in the sand

[Spider]

You are a pillar of control

see I dont need anger management ..........

[Jason in LA]

Don't worry about it Spider. Every job I've ever quit I felt like $1 million when I walked out the door. So feel happy that you don't have to go through that again...well, at that job atleast.

An "audience" would make a difference. If it had been just the two of you, you probably would already have things worked out. It sounds like you have a good basic relationship and that's what really counts.

:welcome: .........I felt good , but now I am worried about how my Brother will make it .........

Yeah if it was just me and him , we would have worked it out .... but if I let my brother get by with screwing with me , then everyone thinks they can ........

Perhaps a private chat with your bro... after you get back from doing what you need to do with your wife and kids... could solve things. Oh... and sending you and your family the best of wishes and prayers that the doctors will have nothing but good news for ya.

[Dudeskey]

In terms of your relationship w/ your brother it may be for the better in the long run... buisness & blood sometimes don't mix too well... The good thing about this buisness is its pretty easy to land on your feet.

[cbs1177]

Wow you had a bad couple of weeks: drug test, broke down rig, giving two weeks notice. Oh so maybe you didn't burn down too many bridges when walking out. Are the triplets doctor outing turn out okay. Routine checkup? Hope the fam is good

[Spider]

thanks for asking ..........Trips doing good , they dont have a tethered cord , just some disformed bones , due to the lack of space` in the womb ;D
Something they think they will out grow ...........
My Brothers wife just dropped by , asking me to come back to work .......

[W*GS]

When I was in college, I worked for a couple summers for my brother.

One of the biggest effing mistakes I've ever made. He worked the crap out of me so the other guys wouldn't think I was getting it easy.

Never, never, ever work with a family member. It ain't worth the shiite.

I can't imagine the different W-2 forms.

[Spider]

I can't imagine the different W-2 forms.

LOL we havent taken it that far

[Spider]

well I am employed again ........

[Spider]

My Brother did some looking at paper work , Not only did my truck make a huge profit , My truck is also supporting 3 trailers and his truck .............
that means I keep up the maintenance , keep my fuel millage up , and keep the truck out of the shop , I broke down last week but that was the trailer ..........

[cbs1177]

Isn't it nice to be loved. You complete him. So is this your baby brother or older brother?

Oh by the way i as promised I said I would kudos you when I hit 1K. Glad the kiddos doc report came back great. It is amazing how babies and kids can bounce back from anything. Their bodies find a way to make things right as always your trips are in my prayers and more then that the misses b/c she has four babies to put up with.;)

......I think that about covers it :thumbsup: seriouslly though, glad to hear it worked out.

[spdirty]

Don't know if I should say this, but I totally understand Spider. Ive worked for my old man for 4 years now, Ive quit and been fired countless times. Last January my old man really got into it with my wife...wife and I have our problems, but he decided to insert himself...calling her a worthless pos, etc...I called him on it, told him he was way out of line and he can go **** himself if he talks to her like that again, we don't talk for about 2 days. Then when it seems everything is fine 2 days later, we are out in a field in Parker putting up barricades, nobody around...start talkin about what happened, turned into an argument, anyway, he calls me a spineless twit. I tried to remain calm, ignore it, then he kept saying that and about the 10th time I hit him. First time I hit someone in the face since i was like 10 and it had to be my old man. So we go on the ground and for the first time ever, I had him down, forearm on his neck, I looked at him, got up, walked away, cryin my ass off. (him and I are as tight as it gets) He then fired my ass, and rehired me about an hour later after a good talk.

Thing is, I know exactly how frustrating it is working for a family member. Has its goods and bads. Can't blame you one bit spider, and it looks like you have some pretty damn good options. Big thing is though, you are supporting I think 7 people right? Always gotta think about them whenever makin a decision like that. Hope everything works out for the best.

man you nailed it .............I am getting ready to head to Worland now , I went back to work for him ,but we agreed once he has a handle on everything , I am leaving .....

[cbs1177]

my rule of thumb is people can complain and witch about their own families. But generally don't yourself say anything about the person's family. that makes them get defensive and suddenly all the complaining about their family quits and you yourself become the target.

Money is thicker than blood?

Working with family is about as tough as it gets. They are the first ones for you and the first ones against you. I'm glad you worked it out.

[Spider]

I should have stayed quit until Monday ;D
