Good Day!!!

Its difficult to accept wife as your director at job as she is already has a good control over family decisions. But if it is a company's policy, and if she can offer a better opportunity & package, i can join her. Rest i will handle tactfully.

Theoretically yes but practically no . because anything on job can create problem in your real life. its good to keep some secrets about your way of doing job.

It will not be a problem for me, but there are the issues of3rd party perspective. You worked hard and get promoted only then to be accused of nepostism because your wife is the director. Maybe it will worked best when the partners are equal in position or status.

Dear Amer,

 

If you're talking about that case in the Arab world, of course,is not right to work in a company where your wife is the director of the department your working in.

 

Because we are here (Emotional Peoples), we will never be able to distinguish or differentiate between working relationships and personal relationships.

 

It's all about (Human behaviors).

Well, it has both asspects. It would be very challaning for me to prove more and work hard if my wife is one of the director of the company as she will also has some undue pressure if she does and does not interfare  directly or indirectly to my work, evaluation and review etc etc.

It can be accepted without arising the questions you have raised.

Yes, I will. I don't see that it will cause conflict and I expect it to affect the relationship positively.

In many companies, there would be an HR policy that will not allow the husband and wife , or parent and son to be in the same department where one would be reporting to the other !!

 

And I agree with the philosophy behind this policy !!  

It is better not to sleep in the graveyard in order not to see nightmares !!
