family business
Family business is the art of leveraging blood ties as capital in an outlaw territory where sentiment and profit intertwine. Titles are as hotly contested as spots at the dinner table, and promotion criteria often boil down to 'who's your favorite'. Board meetings serve less to discuss strategy than to rehearse family hierarchies at length. Profit sharing can outweigh family creeds, and a 'consultation' often sows the seeds of lasting grudges. From the outside it may appear as an idyllic commune, but inside it functions as a perpetual stage for familial drama.
