My husband and I work together, I work in the office and he is out in the shop or out on the road but our bosses have made him work most of all the 3rd shift jobs for the last 4 years at this time of year, he is part time yet gets over time and makes less then all the other empolyees, I am full time but he is mad at me for it and thinks I should be able to do something to get him off those 3rd shift, we are doing what we can right now to get him off 3rd but it is complicated and we are short handed and the bosses won't hire any one else at this time. Anyway, I talked to someone I know and they went back and told our bosses and now husband wants to quit job b/c they confronted him and told him it is wrong to take it out of me, he knows this, I know this but he was over worked, under paid and he was hungry. Our bosses are in a spot b/c they put him where they need him! He is being unreasonable, I can't make him understand that it is only temporary... What should I do he just bought a new

My opinion is that the "bosses" are just cheap, uncaring and unfair. They see 2 paychecks going into the same household so feel justified in saving money for the company. Best advise I can offer is for him to seek another job. It is not like the two of you have your own company and are working together. Both of you are at the bosses mercy and it is causing conflict in the marriage. Have him get another job, make more money and save the household conflict.

Your husband needs to stick up for himself. I work with my husband and the same I work in the office and he is a maintenance man. I kept on harrassing him until he asked for a raise cause I see what everyone else makes. But I made sure he did it himself and finally he did. Don't talk to anyone at work about your hubby cause it will get back to him. Have him look for another job if need be maybe when he tells his boss he is leaving they will offer him a raise.
