Family pressures relative who works in e-commerce company to misuse their work access to grant them favors, relative refuses to help: 'Following their demands would be a career-ending move'

Getting benefits from your workplace is great. Who doesn't love these little perks that make you feel less of a fool for subjecting yourself to the corporate world? Give us all the coupons and discounts you have, please.

The thing about the perks you get is that there will always be someone else who will try to take advantage of them for you. Usually, these people don't even work with you; they just want to benefit from you, whichever way they can.

Take the family in the story below as an example. They all tried to pressure their relative to agree to countless favors, all because of where they worked. They wanted them to pull data, submit a referral, and even their employee discounts. There was no end to their demands. Since the employee was not willing to risk their job, they refused all these demands and even walked out of the family dinner to make a point.

Would you have helped your family members, or do you think it is valid to set these boundaries? Keep scrolling to read the full story and share your thoughts in the comments below.
