    That's up to you. In your situation, when would 'too late' be, though?

    If you do, I’d suggest that you do so pretending he is not your uncle—only the owner of a place where a manager is acting inappropriately. Explain things that happened factually, without too much interpretation and emotion. In fact, if you do become a manager of his shop someday, I’d give the same advice. Mixing family/friends and business can cause lots of trouble, if you can’t distinguish between those two kinds of relationships.

      Too late would be when he talks to my uncle first, and my uncle tells me, "If you had a problem with your manager, why didn't you come up to me first?"

        Well then, it just [sucks] to be you, doesn't it?

        EDIT: Thanks for that Servo.

            Anonymouse, say wat do you is?

            Write that all down and date what happens and what he says, etc. If, someday, something happens and you have not yet said anything, show your uncle what you've wrote. Tell him that you've been trying to work through this, but some lady on AC told you to do that... and then show him the post).

              He's coming over right now. I won't tell him, but I find it to be awkward timing.

                Or say it now, and then show him this thread tonight. Either way, I can tell that your job with him means lots to you by how much you worry about your job and how you are doing. I will vouch for that.

                Tell him some crazy lady in Wisconsin told you to tell him to read this thread.

                      o.k buddy,

                      Here are some tips:

                      Try to keep up a positive attitude with your manager. As annoying and xxxxxy as he gets, don’t let it bother you, and don’t show him that he bothers you. Keep up positive energy.

                      Keep a large notebook with you at all times. Jot down notes, and write down specific answers he gives you when you ask questions.

                      If you have questions that can wait, try to write them down, and when he’s clearly free present all the questions at once, so that you don’t have to come to him repeatedly.

                      Don’t stop asking questions!

                      If his attitude persists, schedule a meeting with him, state your concerns, and come to a consensus on how you can best address the issues between you two. Keep up a positive attitude throughout all this.

                      If he’s still a xxxxx, this means he’s bitter, and as siggie mentioned he feels threatened because of your relationship with the owner. Therefore, you must conquer his job. Keep your uncle posted on his behavior. Learn well, and take over!

                      I bid you much luck!
