My company has a 1.6 rating on Glassdoor... In late 2024, the owners gave the marketing director position to their "adopted" daughter that is a family friend but never worked in marketing or business.

She substantially missed the YOY goal. Now two of our most important employees quit with no notice directly citing her--I will join them soon. The owners support her so much, they are thinking of closing this branch due to low performance and putting her in charge of another... Is this real life?

Yes, for sure I worked at a major telco and got settled with one of the C levels daughters. She just kept telling me she was working from home, but her laptop was sitting on her desk. 😂

Yes lol if she just stayed home and collected her fat paycheck, our work environment would significantly improve.

That's rough, I'm sorry and I hope you get out soon. Years ago, i interviewed for a small organization and across several departments, there were people who were related. If I remember correctly, the CFO's son was heading up IT. The marketing role I was interviewing for would have reported to him. I think I withdrew the next day.
