[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife AND family attend the annual board meeting. It is offsite at a five star resort over several days.

My wife also attends company holiday party and annual board dinner.  My wife and family have been invited twice on job interviews out of state.

You can tell a lot by a persons family.

If a spouse is not on board male or female with their spouses job and career not going to work.

And your spouse and kids better behave. The “cut of one’s jib” is important.

You should never be involved in hiring. You are a lawsuit waiting to happen. [/quote]

I obviously don’t hire people on that level. Both those jobs were on retainer with outside search agencies.

Look when asking a family to move states. Husband or Wife is taking in a 50-60 hour a week job that starts immediately the spouse has to be on board.

And no they can’t ask. But recruiter advised in “knock out” rounds you have to “volunteer” information.

If I say straight up. My wife is a SAHM and I discussed this opportunity with her and my children and all on board. In fact I am still in my starter home we outgrew and was already looking for a new home and this is a perfect opportunity.

I can start immediately, will rent a place near office M-F. I have no issues at all.

Person 2 days nothing. They can’t ask.

I think people don’t realize SAHM is a hard demanding career. People are judged. We did dog and pony show twice. Imagine stress flying to new state with wife and three kids and managing them while interviewing. I can’t which is why wife in charge. It also costs a fortune with new outfits. Hair salon appointments etc. I have a country club dinner my wife is attending with literally people you see on Tv or read about. She finds then stressful

I be more than happy to be the SAHD and let her do my job. But we both can’t do my job. I either need to be divorced, single or have a supportive spouse. [/quote]

Sir, I think your wife is conning you.  [/quote]
