It's probably pointless to respond a month later, but I was clicking around and somehow accidently landed in this forum which has surprisingly low activity.

I mean come on, "career help" one would think would be a super active group. The world just isn't what I expect it to be in many ways.

Anyway, regarding nepotism (one of my favorite topics):

Unfortunately this kid is your boss, from a time independent perspective. He will own the company one day, not maybe. He's a little piece of DNA who got chopped off of your real boss and that's just the way life works.

At the same time, he's the owner's kid, who probably annoys the hell out of his father too, so he doesn't deserve too much respect, just some courtesy.

I think that you should realize he can perform poorly and never fear losing his job, unlike the rest of us.

But the most important thing is, if he is a moron, that means he needs you even more. Just do your job well and everything will be fine.
