You dont need respond. Act!

Focus on yourself now.

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

He should understand that it was a temporary sacrifice and encourage your next step.
Your happiness also count

No there’s absolutely nothing unreasonable about it. You need to work full time and he also need to take on more responsibilities because now that... family is expanding and your girl is going to the university you need much resources to be able to care for the family very well and depending on your job alone will not help rather it will be good for the father to also help by taking up more responsibilities  more

Congratulations for the opportunity , take advantage of it, your father even will be proud of you, your good work and kind heart rewarded you... well. God bless you 🙏.  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.  more

Really no! Then management does not know the value of family.

The issue is people start taking advantage of that … if your kid was sick on Monday why is he going to school on Tuesday or Wednesday? Where is your... back up ?  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

You know when your spouse (or family) tells you. Perform a self- assessment. Ask yourself what's changed: time with family, do you have the same... friends; does everything centers around your job, is everything about you, when's the last you took a non-work related family vacation or date night with your spouse. More money, prestigious living doesn't automatically mean a happy family life.
You've been warned. Pay attention before its too late. more

Well, if you’ve always wanted to be stressed, impatient, and obsessed with proving yourself then you’ve made it! Welcome to the good life!

In the... event that you’re really saying that you feel like you’re on your way to becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be, then tey to empathize and understand what’s being said. I’m betting you don’t want the people you love to serve as the fodder for your success, right?

Tell your family you love them. Ask for their support. Work together to realize true success. Then you can enjoy the money, promotion, etc. more

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

Its not right to plagarise another persons work but did you publish or present the work like in a workshop if not then there is nothing wrong to... improve the findings and bring out a different idea .but it good the boss puts you as et al.... in his work
 more

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

I don't think your children are the one stopping you is your decision to make it happen. How older are the children before you can say that they are... one stopping you  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

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

You shouldn't be heart broken. There are two issues here. Firstly, as parents, try to graduate from doing one thing in the initial stage to another.... For instance, starting by cleaning isn't a problem. I have done that myself and I am not ashamed of it. But, 20 years cleaning should have culminated in you owning your own cleaning company. That is career progression and ultimately wealth creation. However, be proud of what you are doing honestly to support your family, including your very Son. The second issue is, your Son may have friends who come from parents that have good jobs so he wants to elevate his father too. Tell your Son honestly that good friendship is to accept someone regardless of the situation or background. If they can't accept him as Son of a cleaner, they are not worthy either to be friends. He should move on to find genuine friends if they can't put up with that.
Try also to begin to think of owning a cleaning company. With 20 years experience, you have what it takes more

In an official work place, always obtain written approval for every action you take.

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. more

No. Live your dreams, nothing you learned is wasted.

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

You are not

Not really, you are not.

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

Quietly prepare.

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

You are always available to them anyways, right?

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

You may have hidden potential they observed in you for them to have given you the position, if you did not reject the position when given to you, the... best thing is to showcase your potential and do the needful, everything that is worth doing is worth doing well more
