A Mr. & Mrs. Smith situation

[PJC]

Hello everyone, need help on a Mr. & Mrs. Smith kind of a situation.
Your gf/bf is being hired by a company that promises him/her a huge career leap and lotsa benefits but that company is your organization's rival. Despite your objections and arguments about it, your partner takes the offer and signs up. And you're both into sales, you sell the same products and services in the same industry. You still don't have the same set of clients but you feel that pretty soon you'll meet in the same account and go against each other. Your organizations are bitter rivals and you're getting unwanted attention because your colleagues and most of your clients already know about it. Your flourishing career is threatened by the conflicting situation. Your relationship is starting to have more and more arguments about work and career rivalries. :fight: Do you give one up to relieve you of the conflict? Or do you just live with it and watch either one die a slow and natural death?

Need your advice... Thanks a lot in advance!

unilever and P&G? I've heard of stories like this before and in the end you have to choose one or the other?

Something like that rivalry, but the organizations are smaller so the news spread out to everybody real quick. Service and communications equipment provider that cater to call centers and similar IT organizations.

Napag-uusapan naman yan eh. Work is work. Home life is home life. It would be a struggle to keep them separate.

Although I have a friend who was "asked" by management to "pressure" the wife into resigning.

healthy competition is........always healthy!

wag lang kayong magpapatayan! hehehehehrhehrhehe

sabi nga nila "trabaho lang walang personalan".... both of you have to show your best.. pero pagusapan nyo lang mabuti na walang taasan ng ego

[oldblue]

since bf/gf mo pa lang naman sya, think of the inevitable. sa tingin ko mahihirapan nga kayo, bayaw ko sa sales ng tsikot ganyan din kinauwian, naghiwalay na lang, kawawa nga lang yun baby.

hmmm. i don't see it as a problem, but a way for you to grow because of the challenge.
and besides, treat is just like work....dont let it affect your personal life and your relationship.

Medyo problema nga yang kung balak mong pakasalan.

IMHO. dapat may mag giveup na isa. Siguradong gulo kasi yan, ngayon medyo ayos lang kaka-umpisa pa lang ata eh. Pero di magtatagal, magkaka-roon na ng lamat yan.

Same job description, same target market, Company Rival. Perfect!!!

You have to view the other person as your partner, with the same capacity and capability as yourself. Now, isn't this the best opportunity to prove just that?

Partnership in life should be viewed as a permanent state of affairs; Work, for all its worth, isn't.

do your best, tapos let anyone of you be pirated by the rival company. para in the end magkasama na kayo. hehehe

good communication lang po yan, and try to understand each other, hindi dapat pag-awayan kundi pag-usapan at planuhin para mag-work ang relationship. (unless gusto nyo talagang mag-hiwalay)

Pwede.

Partners for life na agad.

naku mahirap yan....my wife and i work in the same company (different divisions) and it's hard enough to be on the same side. if we worked for bitter rivals baka magbarilan din kami :bwahaha:

....basta ang usapan eh kung sino mas malaki kita mas malaki ihahati.

di naman siguro. kami din ni esmi we work for rival companies. although of different fields, pero we don't talk work issues at home.

[falken]

Nasa pagdadala din ninyo iyan, just don't bring work issues home. Practice a little give and take and remember family and friendship comes first.

look at the bright side, if you two get married you will also benefit from her large paycheck hehe
