Hiring Family & Friends
1 points by ordersup 6854 days ago
What is everyone's opinion on hiring family and/or friends and why? I've heard both negative and positive reasoning from both ends and wanted to throw it out there for you all to weigh in.

Friends, maybe. Family, NO! Why? Because family always expects you to forgive them, family expects you to always be there for them no matter how much they screw up and family will freeload on this for as long as possible.
It depends on your relationship with your family. What you describe is not always the case.
