Going forward, don't make anymore career sacrifices for her. Her her

Sorry bro. This lady never loved you even for once. All she wanted was validation because she was afraid of the future, but now she got exactly what... she wanted from you and doesn't need you anymore. Never late; try to move on. Opportunity lost does not mean other doors are there waiting to accommodate you 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.

My dear, God is faithful and so merciful. Take on the available opportunity and you are praying and believing
God for a better one

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

First of all, there's no company project that is done by a single person. It is always a team. If your boss does that without recognising the team,... the company itself must understand how they award. Instead of awarding an individual, the company awards the team. In view of this, I think the company itself has built that culture to the extent it's an organisational culture. If I am right, going to HR won't help since it's part of organisation culture already, which I may call organisational roadblock. However, talk to the HR about why should team work be awarded as an individual work. more

Congratulate your boss on their award. Then ask a couple technical questions about how the project came together that only you would know how to... answer. How your boss responds will be revealing. 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?

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

Client's urgency doesn't necessarily become your urgency.

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

That's ridiculous. Accept and confront the facts and let your wife know your status.

just tell her, and earn her trust back again

No.

I think u have to start looking for ur future cos being in ur brothers company doesn't mean that it belongs to u and know that it is not inheritance... that u look forward to get your share so think deeply and move on more

Working with spouses could bring in unhealthy decisions/ conflict of interest.

Some organization won't even allow couple to work in the same company. Its standard HR practice. You need to be able to sit your wife down and draw... the line between office responsibilities and home expectation  more

Let the interview board decide depending on your CV and experience

Hello

Give him 3 more months after that he has to do what he has to do.

When you help your family or someone you care about you need to afford paying down finance for these individuals to live. If you done have an incoming... income. Then you are irresponsible. First find a job. If you have the skills there will be plenty of jobs with the skillsyou have. If not you need a career representative and a representative for a job board program online, work from home or in-person such as CareerSource, National Staffing Agency and/or Resource Employment Solutions. Make sure you all required document including your resume, cover letter diplomas from high school, undergraduate school or graduate school with as well as your passport and other ids. more

Your thoughts are right, your wife is an assistance, if you have a plan and you've shared with her you've to know at 1st she will look for what amount... you have. You are the pillar of the family. Changing from a decision that could make you and your family happy for the rest of life to a short term enjoyment for days may make you regret closing a second opinion without giving a try more

Your first plan is always the best. If you bring in second thoughts, you will use your savings in the manner you will regret.
