I have been working for my aunt and uncle's company for close to 6 years. It is not my ideal career to sit behind a desk and I really don't like the way they run their business. They spend the company money on personal items such as cars, vacation homes, travel, motorcycles, etc. If I was not family I would have left a long time ago because I don't even like knowing that they are using compnay money for their personal ventures. What makes it worse is that half the time there is barely enough money in the company bank account to cover payroll and payables are far overdue. I have mentioned, kind of sarcastically, moving or finding a new job. My aunt replies, kind of sarcastically, that she will glue me to my chair. I feel completely stuck. I love my family and I don't want any sour grapes between us but I feel like if I don't get out of this career than I am only hurting myself. Should I let them know that I am looking for a new job or should I wait until I find a new job and then give a regular 2 weeks notice? Am I wrong for wanting to leave?

no you are not wrong, ambitious is what you are, just try to get the qualifications you need, and then send out applications. i think its best for you to wait until you have landed a job b4 u notify them with the resignation letter. God be with you and i hope that all goes well.

Just because you are family doesn't mean you have to submit yourself to misery. Let them know you are looking for a new job, because it is the more honest thing to do, but get a new job that you enjoy.
