My CEO Dad Expects Me to Actually Work 😤

I'm honestly at my breaking point here and need some serious advice 😭 So my dad owns this tech company and got me a VP position right after college. The pay is amazing ($200K+ with bonuses), but lately he's been expecting me to actually show up to meetings and contribute ideas! Like, isn't it enough that I bring prestige to the family name? 🙄 Yesterday he had the audacity to suggest I lead the quarterly presentation because "it's time I earned my keep." I've been coasting comfortably for two years, and now suddenly there are expectations? The worst part? My trust fund doesn't kick in until I'm 30, so I actually need this job. How do I tell my dad that real work wasn't part of our arrangement without seeming ungrateful? I'm genuinely stressed about this whole situation 😰 #workplacestruggles #familybusiness #careertrouble #JobCareer
