Family Said 'Get A Real Job' At Christmas - My Tech Company IPO Was Worth $7.2B Next Morning

Family Said 'Get A Real Job' At Christmas - My Tech Company IPO Was Worth $7.2B Next Morning Christmas morning at my parents' house always felt like walking into a courtroom where I'd already been convicted. The tree sparkled with expensive ornaments. The presents were wrapped in designer paper. And I was, once again, the family disappointment sitting in the corner with my laptop."Rachel, it's Christmas," Mom said, her voice sharp with practiced disapproval. "Can you put that away for one day?"I glanced up from my screen. "Just finishing something. Two minutes.""It's always two minutes with you," my brother Daniel said from the couch. He wore designer pajamas and an expression of smug superiority. "Some of us actually value family time."Daniel was thirty-five, three years older than me. He was a cardiologist at a prestigious hospital, married to another doctor, living in a house that cost two million dollars. He was everything my parents had ever wanted in a child. #aita #reddit #redditstories #redditstory #revengestory #revenge
