Today I started a new job, I found out that my employer doesn't follow the labour laws and my new co-workers are planning on reporting the owner of the company. The owner is my father, and I want to help them report him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started a new job that was highly recommended by a worker there. The same coworker that is now making my life a living hell. FML
Today, I work at a super toxic workplace, where the owner/boss takes part in some rude/bullying behavior and does nothing when I'm being bullied by coworkers. As a matter of fact, he takes their side. I have been looking for a new job in what I do, but haven't had any luck. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, I'm starting a new job. Only problem is, I haven't been told what my duties are, who my line manager is, or who to ask if I need help. FML
Today, after I told my boss I'd found a serious error that cost the company thousands each year, I found out he'd fled abroad. Turns out the error was him stealing for the past 40 years, our entire department is under investigation and the owner is considering scrapping our office and firing us. FML
Today, I found out that the owner of my workplace hasn't been paying any of the bills and that all 10 people on my crew and I will be losing our jobs in a matter of days. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, my boss told me he was going to start taking money out of my pay, because his wife makes us lunch. I work for my dad, and he wants to start charging me because my mom makes me a sandwich. FML
Today, half of my office urged me to file a complaint against a coworker for aggressive behaviour, so I did. Less than 24 hours later, HR gave him a real dressing down and the whole office turned against me for ratting on him to management. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Give your dad a heads up regarding the plan to report him. He may change his workplace ethics regarding employee rights.

That's why you shouldn't work with family

it's still your family. let him now, if he doesn't know but if he's blatantly breaking the rules then you.should report him. something people here haven't been telling you, there are things called whistle blower right basically your dad can't fire you or whoever reports him and if he does or tries too you can file for unjust firing and the whistle blower laws will protect you.

I'm assuming that you are not in a position where you can casually suggest changes to your dad. If this is the case, this sounds like a situation where you should be as minimally involved as possible because anything you actively do has consequences that will bite you in the butt. I would quit ASAP, but you can still let your coworkers know that you support them and will testify to the conditions if needed. I would not tell your dad that your coworkers are planning on reporting him, because he might take it out on them. You are stuck with your dad for the rest of your life, so you shouldn't actively conspire against him either. If your dad asks you upfront, then you can offer some constructive feedback on what needs to change. (And if/when you inherit the company, you will know what to do differently!)

How to be unemployed, lose your family's trust and faith, and your chances of taking over the family business in one easy lesson. Hope you didn't need that job or expect any help from your family after this. You should move to California. There are lots of snowflake liberal idiots there, they can be your new family. You can be their hero!

Nothing wrong with that. Family or not, if the rules aren't being followed, it should be reported.

Everyone has to follow the laws. Family or not. Law is the boundary you do not break.
