Job problem....or so it seems

[ViRaLRuSh]

Ok, I have an interview coming up with the company that my GF works at. It turns out I might be in the same area as her now that the guy just called for the interview. :-\

She didn't mind me applying there and she said since I was having so much trouble finding a new career, that working there was a good opportunity. Today I call her and tell her I might get a job similar to hers there, she didn't sound too happy. :-\

I asked her "Well what's the problem?" she said nothing, of course.


I don't know, I need to finally start a career and this has been a huge opportunity. Does she have the right to be pissed if I have tried finding elsewhere but to no success? Or am I wrong here?

Dump her, and get her job. :thumbsup:

working with your SO is a BAAAAAAAAAD idea.

i would defintely ask her if its ok if you work there before you take the job, i got a job in my roomates group at my current job and i made sure he was cool with it before I went foward and accepted.

i agree. she probably didn't realize that you guys could be working on a same job. same company might be ok, but same group and similar job is a bad idea.

Well the only time I'd really see her is at lunch I think....We're not even sure it's gonna be the same job. When the guy calls later to actually set up the time, I assume he'll describe the job a little bit more.

get the job, kick some ass, get promoted, then threaten to fire her anytime she doesn't give you sex.

Screw here. Money is money. If you could live off love, then she'll carry your slack ass.

Well dont make a decision until you know if its even going to be in the same area as her. And definitely talk to her about it.

When you work together with your SO it makes it hard to escape your 'job' when you come home to relax.

Second that

She's never going to say its a problem. She'll show you that there's a problem though

Make sure the reason she is upset is NOT because she is banging someone

Heh ... no fishing in the company pond

That said, I know one couple that work together ... share a cube and everything. They have for years.
Not in the same chain of command though ... ie., one is not the supervisor of the other.

It would be funny if the company was looking to replace her and hired you as the replacement. If that is true, don't expect to get laid.

Well, turns out it has a slim chance of being around her. same building and all, but possibly not even around her. I'd still eat lunch with her, btw this is at paychex. Strict codes there!

 

[Doboji]

she's upset cuz now she's going to have to break off the affair with the guy from accounting.
