My husband not been working since the last week in April. This is the same week we had bought a new property using all our savings. Since then it's been just my income holding us together. He got a job recently but does not start for another 2 weeks. I'm jealous he had a decent break from all the hassle and bustle of work for a while. Im tired of working but can't leave my job.

I feel that - my husband has been laid off a couple times, and it is frustrating to be the one working, but it was equally as stressful and frustrating for him to be the one that was not working. The stresses are different, but definitely still strong on both sides. Congrats on him finding a job! It is really tough in this market.

Your feelings are valid and you’re allowed to feel this way. however, hopefully you’re not taking it out on your husband. You didn’t say why he hasn’t been working or how long you’ve been married but what I will say is that a marriage is never 50-50 and sometimes you will carry him and other times he will carry you. maybe schedule some PTO and do something nice for yourself, always makes me feel better when I do something different in the middle of the week. If you can’t take PTO or you can’t afford to do something for yourself at least take a break in the middle of the day. Go to a park and just enjoy the outside and the quiet, you’ll be amazed at how much of a difference even an hour away from your work can make. good luck!

Friends..
I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer
