FI and I work for the same company, but in different office in our city. That's as close as we'll ever get in the work force (I HOPE!).
Are there any other Bee's out there that have or do work with their other half?
I might be getting a job at my husband's company. They have certain rules about it, like I can't approve any of his trips (because I would be in the finance department) but I doubt we would have much interaction overall.
I've worked with/for my husband. It's fine but I don't think I'd ever want to run a business with him. We have REALLY different management styles and I think we would clash too much. :) Plus, I like coming home and having stuff to talk about (when we worked together it was like we didn't come home with any news or interesting convo. at the end of the day because we had both knew everything already!)
Oh we've worked in the same office. I was unemployed for a while and took a job in his company. Wow, was it ever awkward!
He was essentially my boss' boss' boss so we were very careful to be seen with each other. Mind you everyone knew we were engaged and everything, but it was better to avoid one another so it didn't look like I was receiving any special favours.
I loved spending lots of time with him but it was difficult.
Yes, its how we met, he is a vet and I'm a vet tech and we worked at the same practice. For about 2 months after we started dating we kept it quiet and nobody had any idea. We really were proud of how we could be professional at work. Occasionaly I'll work relief where he works, but for now we work at different places. We are definitely looking forward to working together again when he starts up his own practice. Its not always easy, we take any criticism from others much harder than if you weren't involved with the other person, but other than that I absolultely loved working together and getting to eat lunch together every day.
We worked together for about four months and I loved it! We actually never got tired of eachother or ran out of things to say - it was amazing!
I think it'd kill us. I'm always impressed when people say they can work with their SO...I really don't think we could do it!
NO!!! We thought about me applying at the same place while we were job hunting. I'm so glad I didn't. There's too much possible drama for me.
We've never worked together, but eventually I'll be helping him with his billing... but that's more as a favor than an employment situation.
@lemondrop, that's amazing! We're both fiercly competetive so even right now, we spend too much time playing the "my agency is better than your agency game". I'm sure we'd kill eachother if we had to play nice all day long! lol!
We do work together...thats how we met! We dont work together directly but we work at the same company. I process the paperwork...data entry...and he drives a tractor trailer that has our company product on it! Its nice working together! :)
My parents have worked together every day for the past 24 years, I'm always impressed. My FI and I haven't worked together but we are planning on opening a business together after the wedding
Yeah I worked for him for his grand opening and renovations and wanted to kill him. I wanted to fire him as a client seriously. Oddly enough after I pulled the event off flawlessly and have shown him what I can do otherwise he just tells me what he wants and I bring him ideas. Unfortunately he is also going to be my client for our wedding and i have pitched ideas over and over and over again and he's finally agreed on one TODAY! lol i'm sooo excited... he is definitely my most unagreeable client and i want to kill him most days but he's too cute :D
PS....I work in the office and when he comes in to get his paperwork to go on the road we say goodbye to each other...and well you know how you love to say goodbye at home when your fiance/husband/wife boyfriend/girlfriend...have I covered them all....is about to leave for work right! Well there are some people who dont like us (jealous!) and wrote a letter to my boss and his boss ( the drivers have one boss and the office people have a different boss) about us kissing but they never left their name!!!
We met when we were working at the same youth program office, but didn't start dating until after I left that job for a different one. I think we would be able to work together now, but it might drive us a little nuts. We are both perfectionists and would probably be snippy about our co-workers or something, haha.
My fi and I directed a play together and we had very few battles, though I have learned that we communicate to people differently and he's more laid back and I expect people to get things done without a second asking.
We found our areas and usually turned to the other to execute it. I think we would make a good team if we had to work together! :D
We've never had a full time job together, but we used to work part-time and do class projects together in college and it was definitely an effort. He's very thorough and methodical and I have very unconventinal ways of working, I jump around a lot and rush to get things done. So we would get frustrated with each other. But when we made an effort to play nice, it was pretty incredible to work together. One job we had together was working as TAs for a class and I have some great memories of staying up all night grading papers.
I think there's definitely both pros and cons to working together or separately and I think I'd be open to either one.
I dont think I would be able too. Im extremely detailed person were FH is quite general on alot of things and honestly I probably wouldnt be patient if I had to wait for him to think of his response. He takes about 7 minutes to answer a question as he really thinks and then responds. were i would be like TIME IS TICKING!! depends what field we would work in tho. In our current fields I wouldnt have anything to do with him as he is a boiler maker and I work in an office.
We get along great and we very rarely fight but I just don't think I could work with him. He's very detail oriented and I'm more of a big picture kind of girl.
i couldn't do it! i thinking living with my BF has made me appreciate the time i don't see him/have to spend time with him. i love the fact that i have to travel for my job as well. it's a nice way to take a break and i get a bed to myself every now and again :)
I have worked with previous boyfriends (how we met, too) and it's kind of fun. I wouldn't mind working at FIs current work just to keep certain skanky married woman away from him, but that's a whole other thread...
We wouldn't be able to make it long term. I would probably be able to help him out for a few weeks or vice versa but we wouldn't be able to make it for too long. We both are too Type A. We usually have our own separate tasks that we take care of in our personal lives so if it could be like that professionally....maybe
I think we would work together pretty well, but the odds of that happening are pretty slim.. I was a criminal justice major in college and looking for jobs in that arena, and FI is a fine arts studio major with an emphasis in photography.. work paths are really not likely to ever cross :)
Well...we first met because I was his teacher. After we started dating, we made a rule that I could never be his teacher (it wasn't an institute for marks just general English communication skills). We could never be in a situation where one person is in any kind of power position over the other. However, sometimes we collaborate on his blog (he runs a semi-successful music blog about local concerts on the side). I sometimes help him with English translations or transcribe and we work well when we collaborate.
My FI and I work together! I love seeing him daily, and whenever he has time we go to lunch together =)
my first job was at the grocery store my fi worked. we were in different depts. though so we didn't get to see each other too often. but they let him train me and he was perfect.
We've never worked together, but I dream of one day running a business with him. It'd be my ideal life to spend every day at home with him, working toward the same goals. It also helps that I know he'd let me boss him around a bit. ;)
I wouldn't want to, unless we were in a setting where we were our own bosses, and only accountable to each other. So if we ran our own business, basically. Not in a typical work setting.
It's important for me to have a part of my life that's only mine, to spend time away from him, and to prevent outside forces from affecting how we work together at home. We're a great team--we better be, right? :P --but I wouldn't want our work lives to be a part of our relationship in that way.
We met by working for the same business just different departments. Eventually I left my department and moved to the one he runs because his department needed help. It's a family owned place so there aren't a lot rules about stuff like that. It works out well for us most of the time, however, when I have PMS...not so much haha. The frequency of working with him depends on my school schedule and around my other jobs schedule. When I do work with him though like another bee mentioned we don't have a lot to talk about at the end of the day so it's pretty quiet at home.
FI and I both work in the same hospital, but I work in Pediatrics and he works in the Emergency Room..i don't think we could ever work on the same unit together..that'd just be weird..hehe
We used to work together - and probably will again. We're a heck of a team!
We've never worked together in a business setting, but we did work together on a few class projects when we were in college together. We worked together pretty well. I'm not sure how that would translate into a business relationship. I think I appreciate being able to come home from work & school and having something to talk about too much to work with him on a daily basis!
No, no, never, never... it would be the end of us! lol his office is so messy & so unorganized I'd be in there all the time cleaning. If he eventually opens up his own business I'd help initially get it off the ground, but it would be extremely short term!
Us being apart is what will keep us together. I know that sounds terrible, but we started off in a long distance relationship & it will already be a crazy transition to become husband & wife and see each other daily! I just couldn't imagine seeing each other at work too. We are independently together... haha if that makes sense?!
We're going to have to! I have no idea how that's going to work out; we're both in the foreign service so unless we want to spend 3 years apart from each other, we'll be in the same office probably doing similar jobs. I predict some tricky manuevering since we both have a tendency to become competitive.
I work with my fam & my FI will come and help out when he's needed, but he's not here all the time since he's got his own job. I could see us working together but I KNOW it would probably drive me crazy. LOL I love the man but there's only so much you can handle!
weird coincidence, actually--my parents work together, and his parents work together, so we would have a good model for it if we wanted to! it's pretty unlikely though, we're in different fields.
I think I'd probably kill him if I had to work directly with him!
I'm very much an organized type A and he's very laid back and ADD. It would drive me nuts!
That's how we met :) We kept our relationship 'secret' at first (little did we know, we weren't fooling anyone!) and we've now both since moved on to other companies but do similar jobs. We hope to one day work for the same company again, we might as well and there are so many great perks to working in the same building/office as your SO.
