Should I stay, or should I go?

I have been working with y parents for 10 years now (I’m 29). In those 10 years we have expanded into 4 stores and then back to 2 stores. I have received less than 5 dollars in raises in these 10 years, but have gained a lot of experience. With there being a recession right now our sales have slumped. So I choreographed a major changed in the company, both on the floor and with the staff. It has worked and our business is getting back to where it once was. My issue comes from the fact that they still treat me like I’m the 18 year old who started with the company (even though I’m the “General Manager” now) I make only $13 an hour, salary. I pull a lot of overtime, while they skip off to their cabin at weeks at a time. Am I being duped? Should I take my experience elsewhere? Do you think they are taking advantage of our family ties?

Yeah, I think they are. All you can do is tell them how you feel and if you don’t get their respect for your feelings tell them you have no choice but to move on.
