Working in a toxic environment makes tou keep looking less of yourself and what you are capable of doing cos your good is not appreciated.
See your... new job as a starting point and see other opportunities outside if your present jobs does not give you opportunities. more

You're still alive and can still look for another job that will give you opportunities in a less toxic environment. Just view your current job as a... stepping stone. Focus ahead! Keep looking  more

Think back when you started saving this money, did you save it with this specific business in mind, or did the idea come after you accumulated the... cash? If you planned this together from the start, it is time to revisit that shared vision, If the idea is new, her hesitation is a natural reaction to a sudden change.

To bridge the gap, look at the math instead of the emotion, if both of you were to lose your jobs tomorrow, how many months will your family savings sustain you before you enter a real life financial crisis?

Your wife needs to know that the household safety net is completely separate from the business capital and at the end of the day, savings alone cannot run a family forever, your family needs investments to grow wealth but it has to be done strategically, prove the concept on a small scale first, protect the core family budget, and show her that you aren't risking her security you are investing in your collective future. more

Is your wife's concern "family's financial stability" or she just doesn't believe in you? It seems to me that she is already seeing you failing and... loosing all the money. This is not about risks, this is about your support system and how much you believe in yourself. Another aspect is how prepared you are for the business, you saved enough to start a business, does that include enough to maintain it for at least 6 months? Your wife maybe perceiving this as a risk because she is either seeing a lot of loop holes in your strategy or she just doesn't believe in you. And you equally don't believe in yourself  more

It depends. How long do you plan to be in the workforce? There's nothing wrong with wanted to cruise and spend time with the family, but realistically... the stagnant get left behind; ultimately without a job to support the family. Choose balance! Most working parents all know that the work journey is not an easy one. more

No having time with your family is the most precious moment you will cherish in all your life.

I just resigned after few months because I felt like I didn’t belong there anymore..

Contact the department of labor (no pun intended). You have rights under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.

Rewrite your CV and include the 4 years experience gained showing all the tasks and improvement in yourself, then look for a higher paying job.

You should have left at the 3rd year! It is time for you to make especial efforts to port, not in desperation but in appreciation of your worth.

Define boundaries for your self at work, but surely life with no money is stress itself,

I think you know success isn't worth the price when you're constantly sacrificing the life you're working so hard to build just to maintain the image... of having made it. A prestigious title and a bigger paycheck can look impressive to everyone else while you're privately losing your peace, your health, and your connection with the people you love.

**But here's the question I'd ask: What's the point of building a life that looks successful to everyone else if you no longer have the time, energy, or happiness to enjoy it yourself?**

That doesn't necessarily mean you made the wrong decision. Maybe the opportunity taught you what you truly value. Success should support the life you want, not consume it. And sometimes, the bravest career move isn't climbing higher it's having the courage to redefine what success means to you. more

Ughhh I need advice help

Difficult situation as doing these times both are needed.

Reading between the lines, it’s not about the less demanding job but the relationship, it’s now up to you to choose between the two.

Be humble, just don't brag about it. I hope this makes him feel proud of your accomplishments.

Simple. There’s an old say. Honestly is the best policy. You did say you’re married right. If you can’t be honest about this then wan can you be... honest about? more

It is normal to review life once a while but much more on the benefits it has offered.

Your career will follow you. Go with your wife. Enjoy where you are, as you wait for where God is taking you. Unfortunately you did not give details... about your career. If you knew that your wife had the ability to improve on job offers, this should not be a surprise . You reorganize your self and find suitable alternatives. Shared Vision: A strong marriage is built on partnership, meaning both partners should communicate openly about how each person's ambitions matter and how to build a life that honors both of you. more

Your comment, "I'm tired of putting my plans aside," lets me wonder if the issues are bigger than this issue (and this issue is big with no clearly... right answer). I think you should seek couples counseling as you negotiate. In terms of accountability, it seems to me that whoever lets the spouse's career take priority should be recognized for that action (financially) if there is ever a separation more

Working remotely does not necessarily working from home. You can get an office outside home and it will still suffice. Working from home should only... be a "survival mode" setting for any career person.  more

I don't see any good reason from your husband 😕 pls think about what you want for yourself, what works for you then settle for it, everyone wish to... work from home...your own should not be different  more

What hours are outlined in your contract? Stick to the contract.

Yes Manager is wrong. Manager is not an ideal leader. Maybe more self serving

yes, when someone like your is in position to promote they do it, those who tell stories they are just cooking they evil plans which does not include... your growth. more

Stop running errands. Start saying no. Stand firm on your no, it will create boundaries.

This should of been anticipated

Sit with him and take decision together consider the negative side and positive side ,don't be selfish because you are one

Honestly, I wouldn't wait much longer. Ten months has already moved “temporarily” into a completely different category. 😂

I'd have a conversation... and ask very directly: “What was the original timeframe for this temporary role, what has changed, and what is the plan going forward?” If the company needs you to permanently perform two roles, that deserves a permanent conversation about expectations, workload, compensation, or staffing.

Sometimes employees hesitate to push back because they're afraid they'll look difficult. But there's a difference between being unwilling to help and recognizing when an exception has quietly become your new job description.

If they keep calling it temporary while continuing to depend on you indefinitely, who's actually benefiting from the arrangement? more

If you think it is enough then push back.
