CAN YOU EMPLOY YOUR SPOUSE TO WORK WITH YOU IN YOUR COMPANY? PLS GIVE REASONS.

pls, house i need genuine answers to this.while responding, pls give ur reasons.thanks

yes and why not.it depends on the understanding of both individual.i have my company and she is searching for a job.i can make a vacant position for her or she simply become my special assistant or secretary.

But come jeanie,which kind question u throw give us like this? abi,ur guy wan give u job....abeg tell us oooo.me i know run.

For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother and "cleave" to his wife. The samething apply to the wife too for two shall become one,that is a divine transposition.Hence, nothing stops spouse working 2gether.

@sammie77, nothing like that,am still expecting to hear from u.meawhile, what of side attractions?yes i know the Bible says that a man shall leave his...................but in employing /working in the same organisation with one's spouse, have u ever thought of the negative aspects?hope u know it is becos of this same negative influence that most organisations do not allow such.anyway, its ur own opinion.need more responses please.

@coolguy, for sometime now i haven't seen ur posts,hope u are alrite.take kia of urself.

jeanie dear,

Personally i would not advice you to employ your spouse to work with you, for so many reasons.

1. If the company has a problem, it affects the both of you, especially if there is no other source of income.

2. If you're working, you know how it is in the office, the crude remarks and jokes, especially if u're a female, so imagine how it'ld look like if your spouse is working with you.

3. to me it reduces the respect you have for each other, especially if one of the spouse is the boss of the other.

So, i'll advise anyone who is thinking of doing so to think very well, as a marriage that is not very strong may collapse under the strain of working together, and no work is worth risking a peaceful home for.

I still mentain and insist that nothing stops spouse working 2gether,are U guys not mature 2 handle office romance?Life is abt risk,take it 2gether,its ur company,u share both the gain & loss 2gether,U both plan 2gether bcos both of U have better understanding of the company.I have seen it worked and its still working.

For me it is not advisiable apart from the risks factors involved there are also the following to consider.

Setiments will creep into your organisation if you are to lay-off workers you are so sure is not going to be your spouse even if she is not capable of running it. Her percieve enemies become your enemies even if they are your best staffs.

What about pride and respect? These things will rapidly die as she/ he is bond to talk things that might destroy your relationship for example how you behave in bed .What happens when your spouse is persistencely late to work? Pick on staffs simply because she is the boss spouse. Will you remove her?

There is always the tempation that you two are going to do things that are not ethnical in the office. ;D

good one coolguy, welcome but wait ooo, how come u and madam decided to come out the same time? lol

sammie to become woman na im de hungry u now...na wah oooh...na ur mumsy picture be that?

@Jeanie,

wetin concern you, abeg leave me and coolguy alone o, we understand ourselves.
;D ;D ;D ;D

sorry madam, @kemistkris not his mum, babe

Depending on the size of the firm.If its a single branched firm,its not advisible due to distraction on both sides. Another reason is that working in the same firm with ur spouse especially a woman has its allied challenges.I am not a male chauvinist neither am a misogynist but we all know that when God created man,God rested.But since God created woman,neither has God nor man taken any rest.Althou they are important devils in the lives of men(Behind every successful man,is a woman),But from the standard point,no man should work with is spouse in d same workplace if he really understands the word "PRIORITIES" -ODELI FELIX, 08069471437

Anything that has advantages also has disadvantages. Yes and no are all correct but depends on the defence of points.

I dont believe it is good for spouses to work like that;
1. it is like one putting all his eggs in one basket. If things go the other way nko?

2. there are chances of excesses not being curbed in such situations becos of close relationship. Can u 4 instance sack ur spouse 4 persistent lateness 2 work when u already know the cause? How can an organisation thrive under that kind of situation?

3.there is greater chance of promoting inefficiency and ineffectiveness. Any company that wants to perform highly has to isolate frienships and personal relationships from business. In fact, a company stands well when friends and family members pay to the last kobo 4 services rendered to them.

i'd rather not work with him for one singular reason; To maintain the friendly atmosphere at home.

Ladies whether we admit it or not, men will always be men. If they are not chasing the ladies, the ladies are chasing them and God help you if your husband is a hansome man. Your only saving grace will be, if God gives you a God fearing husband (in every sense of the word).

The bottom line is, wat u don't see will not hurt u (you know we are very temperamental) thereby keeping ur home cool.

@chrystie
i love ur reponses,they are matured.thanks

There is nothing bad in that.I can employ my spouse to work with me,so far i know she is not a pest that can destroy my company.
For example, i know of a company that was started with the family bcos there was no money to pay staff,the woman worked with the man until the company grow bigger to the extent of having about70 staffs. Sometimes when you work with ur spouse u become bigger bcos where the two of you agreed heaven too agrees with you. All just depend on the level of relationship and understanding.
Another thing is that u will never know they are spouse during official hours as everything will be strictly official.

@ayangba Your example happens ones in every 10,000 cases. I am not a law graduate but i do know quite well that in law,there is a difference between ownership and possession.I dnt want to mention men cos there r lots of them,but i do know of the ceceilia ibrus,the akinyulis,the Ndi okerekes and some other great woman who are making it. Althou their husbands hv been in support BUT NOT from within the organisation. They of course know the importance of their spouse but did not include them cos they have carried out risk calculation and assesment.They knw hw devastative it is. I dnt abt urs bt 4 me,its BUSINESS B4 PLEASURE
