Quote: That's not what happened, though.. Not so far as I can tell, anyway. As far as I can tell, the OP's husband interviewed a lady for a position in his department, didn't hire her, but thought she'd be a good candidate for another position. His wife happened to have an application in...

Quote: What's he gonna say? "Hey, here's this other application. I'm just trying to look impartial." Quote: My wife would never go 'behind my back' and ruin my chances of getting a job anyplace she happened to be working, because I would never apply for a job anyplace she happened to be...

Let's all play a little devil's advocate here.. Say a member of BYC posts here and says: "I just got hosed! I applied for this job and did really well on the interview, but the guy who interviewed me picked someone else.. That sucked, but what really sucks is that I just found out from...

Quote: But what if completely removing himself requires him to do something differently than he would normally have done were it not for his wife's app being in the stack? That's not impartial either -- especially considering that removing himself from the process in this situation would...

Haven't you guys ever put a resume or an application in somewhere and hear "We don't have anything right now, but we'll keep your resume on file and let you know if something else comes up." Haven't any of you ever gotten a call saying "We filled the position you applied for, but we have an...

Quote: That's some folks' answer to everything, though.. Some folks do precisely what they want without a thought for how it might affect anyone else because, if it does, that's THEIR problem.. If you're over 8 years old and still act that way, to me, that's the mark of a world-class jerk...

Quote: Exactly!! She's mad because her husband did what he would normally have done if his wife weren't in the running for the position.. She's mad that he was impartial and still demands an apology.. She's mad that the "other woman" was a SAHM for 13yrs, blah blah blah -- information she...

Quote: The above is another one of those "valid concerns" about husband/wife working together, especially if someone has a jealous bone.. "Why were you in such-and-such's office today?" "Ummmm...what?" "You were in (his/her) office, laughing and cutting up." "Umm..ok?" "So, what was...

Quote: Can I just point out that you guys working at the same place created conflict in the workplace and in your home before you even got the position? This kind of stuff is pretty much exactly what I was talking about when I used the phrase "valid concerns."

So, does anybody care how the husband may have felt about what would come as a result of her being employed at his place of work, or is it just me? Sheesh... I mean, I see the potential for some valid concerns on his part here, even if it was handled....poorly, at best.

That's not dunderheadedness...that's straight up sabotage. He either doesn't really want you to get back into the workforce, or maybe he just doesn't want you working where he works. That last part probably sounds a little sinister, but it's not necessarily so.. There are a few husbands and...
