NTA: Family drama over business ownership sparks Thanksgiving feud
“NTA You need to think more objectively about this: ok, she’s your sister but in this context, she’s your employee and for what you’re telling us, if she’s working so little hours a week she’s not even a full time employee (not sure if she qualifies as a part timer but I don’t think so). It really doesn’t make any sense to give her any ownership of your business, let alone half. Honestly is an insane request. Also, is she’s giving you so much trouble right now as just an employee working just a handful of hours a week imagine what would happen if you give her part ownership. Protect your business, OP.”
