  • In my opinion,I expected that when you started the entire process of working less hours you explained to him and now that you're back to fulltime work... I expect him to understand you.Secondly,for the sake of happiness and peace for the two of you you have two ways,one you continue working for less hours and warn less depending on your employer's agreement with you or if your employer is hesitant to accept,then continue with fulltime roles at work. more

  • my submission would be, if you have the capacity to cater for all expenses at the moment, then you can maintain the routine to make your husband... happy, so that you can live happily together

  • You don't have to become a different person to become successful. You can grow professionally while still being a loving, patient, and supportive... husband. more

  • Dont be like the men who start small with their wives and then when they become succesful forget their wives,fail to give them time and generally... change more

  • Allow your manager handle it.

  • If clients are affected, this mistake will surface one day. Department would look worse at that time than fixing the problem now.
    It is your manager's... reputation that is on the line. The coworker who made the mistake can document how the manager was informed. You are better off staying out of it. more

  • I agree with your siblings. Is the opportunity close enough to come back on weekends. Is teleworking an option. You typed "helping care", can the... other caregivers take over your part?
    If able, Ask your dad for his opinion.

  • Tell your son that during the Second World War, some people ate leather shoes, and I was a cleaner, and I have now attained a PhD.

  • But you do work at an office, what you do at an office is another story.

  • What's fine is dine. BUT in the future include others when you submit your work. The email description could be something like:
    Mr. Evans, I am... submitting my report for the XYZA project.
    In addition, I have included the XYZA team members in the distribution.

    We are all available if you have questions.
    OR
    Leave out a major part so that you can answer, when he cannot, during his me, me, presentation.

  • That’s just how the world runs, get used to it.
    The catch is, there’s a possibility that one time he’ll be trapped in a position where he’s unable to... explain your work, whenever you can, leave such baits there, that’s where you then get to come in. more

  • You did nothing wrong but you would have expressed to your girl that you had a client and say sorry then give her something like a small gift you can... afford for celebration of her birthday. I some times miss celebrating my children's borth days and they are the ones to remind me but I explain and appologise to then, give a small gift I can afford and finally sing for them that song, happy birth day to you..

  • Can't make up the sacrifice, but you can communicate that your career is built around your love and care for family. What would your family's life... look like if you never had a job? more

  • The real question is, what do you bring to the table, 8 years is worth shit if they don’t really see your exceptional value there.

  • The new coworker may have different skills or experience in a different area. But understand the salary you received is what you accepted. Your... coworker's salary is what he negotiated (accepted). Request a desk audit. Ask how you can get a raise/promotion.  more

  • Unless the management is inhuman, which sometimes is the case, it’s better to seek for permission first before handling emergencies than to apologize... later. If the management is inhuman, then I understand that what your coworker did was stupid. more

  • So, she is not saying she snuck out early! She says she left early and the coworker reported her. They could have said something due to her just not... being there. Anonymous please report back to this post and clarify if you told the supervisor or whoever was in charge that you were leaving early...Thanks! more

  • Your products matters a lot and also the location as well as the proper channels to connect to people who needs Ur products and services

  • It depends on what your business is, what it does, how you’ve structured it, who your target customer is, what you’re doing to reach that customer,... etc. Before you give up, make your operations and setup as lean as possible. Spend less so you can keep more, if you haven’t already done this. Do a self audit to see if this is (or is still) viable. Someone already mentioned this but it is worth repeating. Most businesses don’t really make money before year 4. If you love it, keep working to make it viable and reach the people that you know will benefit from it.  more

  • I don't get it. The one replacing you doesn't have the know how that you possess? Someone is playing politics especially that the replacer without... being skilled as you are gets much more than you do. If I were you, I would negotiate without giving in to manipulative demands. At times the company and your bosses must understand your worth. Read the book "GETTING TO YES - NEGOTIATING AN AGREEMENT WITHOUT GIVING IN". more

  • I simply refuse with clearly stating that I will NOT train the replacer. If I am losing my job anyway, it’s not my problem how it will run after me... hehe more

  • The fact that you gave in to your parents makes it difficult but not impossible. What you can do is start a restaurant while working as a lawyer. If... you can manage it properly and show that it is as viable a venture as being a lawyer, they may reconsider their stance.
    I am a parent too, but one thing I avoid is to dictate the careers my children want to pursue. I give them room to choose from the understanding they are able to convince me the reason they choose what they want. This is for the purpose of understanding it is coming from them and are passionate about it or is merely peer influence.

  • Check out the book "The Food Lab" by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. This may help you explain your choice.

  • Sounds like you have a confidence problem. If you really believe this, you could have rejected the promotion.

  • Clearly you were. Walk into your new role with confidence, all our paths and timing are different.

  • Simple say: "I see you are recruiting for someone is my exact position. What is your thinking?"

  • Quietly prepare for the better. Apply like crazy, hire a recruiter, and confront management only when you secured the new position. If they weren't... upfront about letting you know their restructuring plans, they don't deserve to know yours.  more

  • Take it and rent yourself an office to "go to work" if times get tough :D

  • You are always available to them anyways, right?
