How did you start discussing family affairs at work place. Avoid disrespecting your family at all times.

I think you’re being unfairly judged if your manager is equating family responsibilities with a lack of ambition. Taking on more childcare and... responsibilities at home doesn’t mean you’re any less committed to doing your job well or advancing professionally.

What should matter in the workplace is your performance, reliability, contributions, and ability to meet the expectations of your role. Ambition can also look different for different people. Not everyone defines success by working the longest hours or making their career the center of their life.

I’d continue demonstrating your value professionally while maintaining the arrangement that works for your family.

Being committed to your family and being committed to your career are not mutually exclusive. more

As a professional who is good at your job, your timetable, and your request in writing, with your reason, see if you will be considered.
Remember,... personal happiness is what comes first in life, because it really shows how mindful you are.
Checks his reasons in the response if is valid fine if is not, then put down your resignation notification letter  more

Understand that in world today, AI is also competitive in everything we do, family is important but without finances to keep family going forward it... becomes a race against a hill, find alternative ways, schedule someone if you need assistance with kids before your close at work, show to your boss that you put your work first and you don't take it for granted, also appeal for support to help you around the time you should leave work so meetings are not frequently happening around closing hour, your boss too have family,we all know family come first in everything but wisdom is key when trying to manage job and family time together, it's very challenging but you should find ways to balance it, show commitment to your boss and also seek their support toward your time, they are human and they will see any adjustments to assist you, don't go toe to toe bcos next time they want to sack anyone, they start to look for those who aren't satisfied with how they work or those who give excuses more

Only unless you don’t understand the rules of the game. If unlimited vacation meant you also have to keep up with your workload , it was either not... communicated or you were not paying attention. more

Good job genius.? Now no unemployment

Good strategy.... NO unemployment genius

what does your contract says? Does it include whatever your manager says? of not then tell him about it, that doesn't mean you don't follow the... company's rules or policy. Just do what the contract you sign says.  more

That is unreasonable demand if it is a regular feature. Try to convince them. Otherwise look for alternative job suitable to your profile ( mention... your requirements) and then only quit .  more

None, work is work, remember the manager also take instructions from the above just give three days on-site a chance. You've been working 5 days... on-site before you started working at home. Been there done that, and there wasn't a problem. Keep up the good work.  more

None of the options. I will give the 3 days onsite work a trial.

Yes it’s not the age. It’s attitude

Congratulations on the offer. Dialogue with your former employer and consider also o what the new offer takes

Congratulations on the offer. Dialogue with your former employer and consider also o what the new offer takes

Yes I agree with comments about spending time with family. I almost hit a balance in life. MY kids where taught that work give the family money to do... what we want. I agree no one ever said " I wish I had spent less time with a loved ones" Good Luck figuring it out with balance in life. But think hard and don't let your ego drive the bus is only thing I suggest.  more

I haven't experienced this personally, but here are my thoughts.

I think it’s easy to look at what friends or colleagues are earning and feel like... you’ve fallen behind, but career success isn’t measured by salary alone. You made that decision because having more time with your family was important to you, and there’s real value in the time and experiences you gained over those two years.

That doesn’t mean you have to stay at the lower salary forever. If you’re ready for more professional or financial growth now, you can start exploring opportunities that provide it without necessarily giving up the balance you worked to create.

Sometimes a career decision isn’t about falling behind—it’s about choosing what matters most during a particular season of your life. more

This is one of those decisions where I don’t think the answer has to be simply the dream job or the relationship.
Traveling 2–3 weeks every month is... a significant lifestyle change, and even when a partner wants to be supportive, the reality of spending that much time apart can be difficult.

Before accepting, I’d have a very open conversation about what the travel would actually look like, how both of you feel about it, and whether there are ways to make it more manageable. I’d also find out whether the employer offers any flexibility with the travel schedule.

A dream job can be an incredible opportunity, but the people we share our success with matter too.

The best career opportunity is one that moves your professional life forward without unnecessarily sacrificing what matters most in your personal life. more

This happened to me and my husband when we first got married. It was so stressful. But we adjusted. But we protected weekends and maintained routines... with communication to make it easier. But I won't lie. It's tough. I travel a lot for my work. It bothers me more than it does my husband. But I found that it always works out. more

A 40% raise is certainly significant, but I think it’s important to look beyond the salary and consider the total cost of the opportunity. Two hours... of commuting every day could easily add up to 10 hours a week—time that you currently have for family, personal interests, or simply enjoying life.

I’d compare not only the additional income, but also commuting expenses, benefits, career growth, work environment, and how much you personally value the flexibility you have now. Sometimes a higher salary represents a genuine step forward; other times, once you factor in the time and lifestyle changes, the increase isn’t quite as large as it initially appears.

Compensation matters, but your time has value too—and unlike money, you can’t earn more of it. more

Money is not everything. I commuted 3 hours daily for 10 years. I had 2 hip replacements. Stay remote

Hey Guys: Ease up. He is already feeling bad. Shaming him is not helping him. Instead, give him advice on how to make it right. My suggestion is to... fess up and apologise. more

We all need greener pastures. So please let go off your fellow worker.

I don't think it is dishonest. It is the employer's responsibility to check into such matters.

AND I'm so sorry about your colleague and I think it's your fault in the first place you should not recommend your colleague for the job you already... know he or her been fired and I don't blame your colleague but I blame you because you are not honest to your Boss and you make your colleague fill bad. more

I used to be a supervisor for the state of Texas. I believe it's illegal to ask such questions. Do they ask the men similar questions? It could be... perceived as sexual discrimination. more

I don’t think you should have to “play along” with a question that has nothing to do with your qualifications or ability to perform the job. An... interview should focus on your experience, skills, availability, and what you can contribute to the organization.

While not getting the position is disappointing, the question may have also given you valuable insight into the company’s culture. Sometimes an interview isn’t just about whether they want to hire you—it’s also about deciding whether you want to work for them. more

In 1999 I was offered my dream job but I would have to move from California to Florida. My mother was sick at the time. She told me to take the job... which meant I would have to move of course. I took the job and moved. My mother was so proud of me, and what i was doing. I was making more money so I could send back some of it to her to cover her bills. Did it suck to leave my sick mother, yes but seeing how proud she was that I finally made it was priceless. Still doing the job 26 years later.  more

That’s a difficult decision because there may not be a perfect answer.
I’d look beyond just the job itself and consider how much my parents currently... depend on me, whether other family or support systems are available, and whether the opportunity could provide enough flexibility to remain involved in their lives.

Dream opportunities can be rare, but time with the people we love is something we can’t get back either.
I’d try to find a solution that allows me to pursue the opportunity without completely sacrificing one for the other. Sometimes the best decision isn’t choosing between family and career—it’s figuring out whether there’s a way to honor both. more

I wouldn’t advise you taking that gamble with your child and mortgage at hand unless you’ve gotten other ways of survival.

I wouldn’t advise you taking that gamble with your child and mortgage at hand unless you’ve gotten other ways of survival.

You regularly did it knowing it was illegal to do it, in as much as others also do it. Are you that stupid to want to go down with everyone else when... you failed to keep your end of the situation? more

You said got caught key word so it’s clear you knew not to do said things , you can’t do what you see everyone else doing and then play victim when... caught move on and learn lesson and be more mindful on next job  more

Stick to your lane, there’s a reason they confided in you in the first place. They trusted you to keep your mouth shut.

If the relationship is purely something your coworker told you in confidence, and you have no evidence of favoritism, coercion, retaliation, or policy... violations, many people would choose not to insert themselves into a private relationship. more

Bounce, just leave without burning any bridges, everyone will eventually make peace with it.

That’s a tough one. I believe keeping your word matters, but I also think you have to make career decisions based on the entire opportunity—not just... the paycheck.
Compensation, growth potential, stability, culture, work-life balance, and long-term goals all deserve consideration.
If the new opportunity is clearly the better move, I’d have an honest conversation with my current employer and handle the departure professionally.
Loyalty is important, but ultimately, you have to take responsibility for your own career path. more

If your partner is complaining, it means it’s real. You can keep the job while doing your best to balance it with the relationship. You know best how.

The two can go while you partner is mature enough
