Every time I have a meeting with you I get a headache. You never come with any ideas, the meeting is soooo dull, and you can't make any decisions. We always meet on the same thing three or more times before you can get your head wrapped around an easy concept. Why are you wasting my time?

I hate being almost the only non-family-member working at a family owned business. They are rude obnoxious people and barely speak my language and their family members who are supposed to be working in the office are never there, and that leaves me doing all the work.
