Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML

I'm pretty sure he can get into a lot of trouble for doing so... Talk with him about it.

Sadly I have to say YDI. While that's pretty sad that your father acts that way, it is *you* who is making the choice to remain. I was in the exact same situation for two whole years because my father's business was struggling and I thought it would be nice to offer my professional office skills at a severely reduced cost. However as time went on I quickly realised I was being taken advantaged of when my workload began turning into around-the-clock, 70 hour weeks at barely above minimum wage. The stress from being broke and the workload was just too much, but I stayed to be a good daughter. Thankfully I finally came to my senses, got a better job and my father's business is still standing. In short, you need to think about yourself and your own sanity. Your family will understand your choice, if not right away then in time.

Sometimes there aren't many options. The last thing I want do is work my family. Hell, my grandma fired me a few years ago. But after college, it's becoming a more appealing option. A job is better than no job.

Depends how hard it is to get a job where OP is. Beggars can't be choosers. For a lot of people, you can't just go out and quit a job just because you hate it, getting paid less or working with family because it's seen as unprofessional. No matter where you are, people are desperate and can be happy just because they're able to do just odd jobs

I don't think op deserves it, but unfortunately if he agreed to that salary in his contract than there's not much he can do, since he agreed to it.

Time to leave that job and make your dad hire someone that he has to pay more money to. Sometimes family sucks!

better a "dad boss" over a boss that's not your dad, cause that's just more awful

I would take a boss that's not my dad doing this any day. That way when I complain to them or get a new job there's no potential long-lasting consequences.

That's when you pretend to be 4 years old in front of both of them. Do some tantrum activity. At this point it doesn't matter who gets embarrassed, make daddy pay up;)
