Problems and Solutions

When couples work and play together in the same company, it can sometimes lead to disastrous conclusions. However, a friend of mine, Diane Tegarden with FireWalker Publications, has shown me that it doesn’t have to! You just need to keep in mind some of the following suggestions!

1. Putting all your eggs in one basket-  When you and your partner work for the same company, it can create all sorts of problems. For one thing, you are “putting all your eggs in one basket” financially. If your company goes through a layoff, and one of you gets laid off but the other one doesn’t, the partner who is laid off may feel inferior or angry, and the one who remains may feel superior or guilty. This in itself can cause hard feelings between people but these feelings can be worked out equitably.

Solution — Check to see if you can work for a different branch office of the same company, or one of you can look around for the same type of job with another company.
