Why are most staff in an organization always wary of their boss children or relatives?
Most staff tend to judge the children of their bosses with the impressions given by their boss. They will often say ‘Avoid her, she’s just like her mother’ or ‘He is as mean as his dad, don’t mind that he’s laughing’.
Your boss’s child is genuinely laughing with you and instead of enjoying the time, you become insecure, you think he/she is trying to lure you into saying things so that they can tell their mom or dad. Well, sometimes it could be the case. Some can be conniving, but common laughter and a little chat are harmless and I’m sure you are wise enough to know what you shouldn’t say… Right?

If the boss is nice, we like their kids but otherwise, hell No! It shouldn’t be this way. Why do we forget so soon that these children have their own individuality?

Let me ask you, are you entirely proud of your parent’s behaviour? I’m sure 90 per cent of you will say NO. That’s the same way it is with these ones. Many of us are not proud of our parent’s behaviour if we have our way, we wouldn’t be associated with them in any measure. The least we want is to be judged in the same light.
In most organization I have worked, the employees are not wary of the bosses’ children. Instead, they try to ingratiate themselves with the children. The thinking is, if one curries favor with the boss’s children, the children will put in a good word for one to their parents.
Yeah sometimes it’s usually the case but other times they are wary and tend to judge the kids out of the narrative they have carved for their bosses.
Well said….
You ain’t far from the truth.
Thank you! Glad you relate.
