[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, sorry, I was in a meeting. But this is interesting. I'm spouse 2, and my husband just dropped into conversation like super casual that I was offered a job but turned it down. It would have been work from home, and his commute is significant, 45 miles each way. I also work from home so it wouldn't have been ideal for me, but we never even discussed it. I was just sort of stunned that this is considered acceptable for him, to unilaterally make a decision that affects everyone.

Obligation wasn't the right word. I just feel like this falls squarely into "we're a team, we should operate as a team" category. I wouldn't dream of taking or not taking a job without just checking in and having conversation. It just wouldn't be a question. I also recently interviewed for a job, decided after two rounds that it wasn't for me, and communicated the whole thing to him as I went. So the fact that he was also doing this internally and never brought it up is shady to me. [/quote]

Clearances are job security.  You don’t get it.  [/quote]

I actually do get that. But he's nearing the end of his career, and he stated the last time he went through the process would be the last time he would go through it. Again, I'm suggesting that he come to a different conclusion necessarily. I'm suggesting that we talk about it.[/quote]
