The situation of having your sister-in-law as a colleague sounds intriguing, doesn't it? But when such a scenario arises, it can bring about some subtle challenges. Just like any family relationship, working with your sister-in-law can present its own set of challenges.

You see, she's your family, but she's also your coworker, which can feel a bit awkward at times. Sometimes you might think, "Oh, dealing with work issues, asking my sister-in-law for help should be fine." However, when you actually reach out for assistance, she might not be willing to lend a hand. Perhaps she believes that work and family should be kept separate, not wanting to get too close in a work setting.

This situation can be awkward because you hope to receive support and understanding from family in the workplace, but it doesn't always pan out as expected. It can leave you feeling disappointed or even frustrated. However, perhaps your sister-in-law has her reasons; maybe she thinks you should solve the problem on your own, or she fears it might affect your relationship.

Nevertheless, it's also an opportunity for learning. Maybe we can try to solve problems independently, seek help from other colleagues, or explore alternative solutions. While family support is crucial at times, it's not the only option. After all, work issues require us to find our own solutions, and we can learn a lot from them.

Although working with family members might sometimes feel awkward or unpleasant, it's also a process of growth and learning. Perhaps we can try to let go of expectations, face work challenges independently, and grow from them. At the same time, understanding each other's perspectives and respecting each other's choices and decisions is important. After all, family relationships are irreplaceable, and whether in work or life, we should cherish and maintain this precious bond.

Actually, I think it's better to keep a clear boundary between work and personal life, because that's the best way to excel at work.

Respect each other's choices, solve problems independently, and grow together.

Just focus on doing everything to perfection, without relying on interpersonal relationships.
