Do you think everything will work out if my fiance can get a job at the same place were I work?

Answer 1

Depends on your relationship, and how comfortable you both are in sharing the same work place.

My husband and I worked together for many years at the same place, and I loved seeing him there, we shared the same friends, got along great together, and it was just nice to have him close throughout my day so if either of us had an overload of work, we helped each other out.

The problems are when you have others that work with you that you don't care for or your husband to be doesn't care for, but you get along with... I had a personal problem with seeing unfair treatment given among the employees there, and seeing the ones who slacked off get away with it due to their relationship with the manager as a friend, and I occasionally felt a bit of insensitivity of my husband and I needing the same day off for personal reasons since it would cut out two employees to replace...and scheduling is not very fun if the job doesn't have set days off, you could go many weeks without a day for you to be together outside of work.. .. so there are a few reasons to think about how you guys will manage before becoming employed together..

If you can, think about a different position than the same one, a little space within the same building is good to not have the same stuff to discuss all the time, because you both know exactly what the other's day has been like from being in the same spot.

Now my husband owns his own business, and I love working with him when I have the opportunity, but I have my own job in a different field as well....If I could do it all over again, I'd work with him still, it was a highlight of my day to see my babe while I was working.

Answer 2

NO, no and then I would say um... NO. Everyone needs their space no matter how much you love the guy...and then after awhile all you'll end up talking about is work, and what an idiot that person is...Which you're supposed to do anyway, but he'll know that idiot now and may have a different opinion. Then there all sorts of potential pitfalls. What if he doesn't do well? what if he gets promoted before you do? What if people think one of you is getting preferential treatment because of the other?

Answer 3

Depends.

If you're both working in different divisions/departments (preferably 5 floors down waaaaay down on the other end of the building), things might work.

It worked for me. We didn't see one another constantly throughout the day. So we didn't evolve that "you again?" complex If the amount of contact can be strictly limited, I say go for it.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
