For those of you who have a working spouse what do they do? Would you be able to be in this industry without them?

No! I would not be working in this industry if my spouse didn’t bring a fixed steady income!

Nurse - would be in the industry either way. It’s great that she has a flexible schedule like me - it allows us to live our life at our own pace. Want to travel for 2weeks or a month, we can do it. Great professions for us to be able to make those decisions.

I network with husband if it is a neutral event. We were invited to a ymca fundraiser and we attended together. He’s an engineer so not sure it would work. Because he’s not in industry he doesn’t understand after hours appointments or the occasional Saturday appt. He would drive me crazy!

She’s an occupational therapist. I would be in this industry but year 1-3 would have been a bigger struggle. The extra income definitely relieved some stress albeit part time income.

Spouse is attorney. Would not be in industry without her stead income (and emotional support too). Started in mid-2007 and market went straight down for 18 months. Oh, and company problems with Wachovia as an added delight.

Wife is a High School Coach. They get paid less than minimum wage!
Needless to say she doesn't add a penny to the household so YES, I could do this profession with out her.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.
