A Mr. & Mrs. Smith situation

[mantoy]

mukhang mahirap yanah. madaling sabihin na don't bring your work home. sa sales pa. there are times na kahit nasa bahay ka you recieve phone calls from clients and prospects. sometimes nga you organize weekend activities with prospects eh heheh. isisikreto mo ba yun kay misis/gf? competitor eh.

imho, one must go if you truly love each other. that's the best sacrifice you have to make in your relationship. hanap na lang ng ibang company yung isa. magaling naman ata sa sales kayo pareho so baka madali din makahanap.

dapat ok lang if you work for rival companies .. as long as wala naman bentahan ng "state secrets" kung baga .. however, if your company (or her company) starts to put on pressure on you guys because of your relationship .. hindi na tama yon ..

btw in many countries having a spouse who works for a competitor is considered conflict of interest. company policy may vary from reassigning one spouse (e.g. from sales to HR or some other back-office function), or asking him/her to resign with some form of compensation. at the very least, you would be required to disclose the relationship

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

i agree .

Tama si mantoy at M54, one of you has to go. Conflict of interest nga.

It's bad business by the other company to offer the job to the bf/gf if they knew that their significant other was working for the competition. While it is possible for you to work other markets and thus never meet, don't the two businesses think that it's a risk that you'll divulge secrets or strategies to each other? I know you'd want to keep work out of the home, but that's not always possible.

The best possible outcome is ma-pirate nalang yung isa sa inyo. Just as long as you don't wind up working on the same team, because that can be even worse than being in competing companies.

Sakin lang ha...

If dahil sa trabaho at kumpanya ng iba pinagaawayan nyo na ganyan ka grabe... there's something seriously wrong with your relationship coz obviously mas importante yun trabaho...

agree with you bro. if there is love, respect and understanding then this will not be a problem.

pero delicadeza (tama ba spelling and usage?) ang pinag-uusapan dito. it's not so much that you did anything wrong, but it's the appearances, or the risks that many reputable companies would rather not face.

kung walang problema sa mga may-ari ng dalawang kumpanya, i guess it's not a big issue, but this has disaster written all over it. trust me, i have had to oversee many of these conflict issues within the same company...i can only imagine what would happen if you're competitors.

yes follow Direk M54s advice
