  • I understand your pain, but trust me, I'm in the same shoes, and the best advice I can give you is that Family comes first. If you're a man, I suggest... you speak reasonably with your partner, communicate clearly, and be open to listening to her so you know what she really wants.
    On the other hand, if you're a lady like me...Hmm, I suggest you also speak clearly and be open with your man; I am currently experiencing that, and I couldn't travel because I have 2 kids. Guess what I had to let go.
    A job lost can be found, but a family lost is dead gone. My opinion, though.

  • The fact that you're able to meet up with deadlines while maintaining an official clock out time sign out defines you already. Don't be too hard on... yourself; remember that you do not need validation from anyone to be the best version of yourself.
    Just do you thing and let your result speak for you.

    Good luck.

  • Just learn to be flexible

  • Most organizations respect the family space, and that's what it should be. Remain clear on this, so that they can arrange the meetings within... manageable times, and then again, some of these meetings don't have to be physical.  more

  • It’s unfortunate that some won’t confront their management when situations such as yours occurs. Simply put you deserve to get compensation for the... work you do. Now it’s not uncommon for individuals considered “management “ to work extra hours, but when it comes to you working the extra hours there’s a problem. Have the conversation, be professional and never think of it as personal, yet strictly business. more

  • Right up to the point that you feel it is and the financial remunerations are not there. Frankly, I would argue it’s already passed acceptable.

  • I’m sure some have but statistically most don’t. Why? Because ultimately it becomes part of your work history and experience and your opportunities... and pay will be based off that. Not saying you made a bad move. The only mistake you made is comparing yourself to others which is the worse thing to do in life period. I believe you will make the a move when the time is right for you. more

  • I’ve been laid off twice and spent 18 months as the dad in the playgroup. I would not trade it for anything. Who cares what you make vs your friends... if you are happy.  more

  • Is this considered on-call or is it over and above. Frankly, you are being taken advantage of. Ask this question, “will someone die if you don’t... respond.” If the answer is no, then it just isn’t that important.  more

  • Back in the day we had pagers…some people actually thought the were important until it started going off. Bottom line that’s why it’s important to... move up the food chain to get way from the grunt work. My only advice is suck up until a better job comes along with out the after hours crap!!!! 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

    I don't understand what you mean. Whose attitude? I have the credentials. Agesism is alive and well. May I ask how old you are? That's easy to say... if you're 30

  • Welcome. I just joined myself. Good to see you.

    I won’t beat this around the bush. Yes, there’s always hope. There’s a lot more than just hope... waiting for you around the corner. Pray on it, and He will answer. There’s a lot of good people in the world that would love to meet you. ✌️🤍 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
