When we relocated to the small town where the company was headquartered, there really were not many options for office work, and in December of last year I came on in a position that works with his job, however not necessarily on a daily basis.<br /><br />Since going on maternity leave, the office has moved south to a larger Houston suburb, and the position I had formerly filled is now being handled by an employee who could not make the move. I'm going to be working in some administrative capacity in the new office (they're still waiting to see who makes the commute and who doesn't to determine the full scope of my new duties.)<br /><br />He and I work well together. We both try very hard to keep work and home separate, and I think we go out of our way to be harder on each other simply to show that we're not "playing favorites" even in our small company. <br /><br />I will say that he did not have a "work wife" before I came on board, and we have joked a bit that I was functioning as his secretary and "off-site data storage" brain before I came on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298873705411249664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-60358547139436041052010-11-17T17:01:09.525-05:002010-11-17T17:01:09.525-05:00Thanks all!

Not until I gave my 30-day notice did we stop trying to hide it. <br /><br />It was hilarious seeing everyone's reactions, we did manage to actually keep it a secret from everyone! We worked well together, but we prefer to keep our professional lives separate going forward. Mainly because we don't want to me the married couple that works together :)Corporate Chickeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946175299722991320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-67039762584587079702010-11-17T09:36:14.417-05:002010-11-17T09:36:14.417-05:00My husband and I work together a LOT, in various d...My husband and I work together a LOT, in various different capacities. Sometimes he's my boss, sometimes I'm his boss, and sometimes we're working in totally different departments. The dynamic between us changes, constantly, but honestly, it doesn't bother us. We keep our personal squabbles out of the work place, and we respect each other as professionals. I love working with my husband, because I know that no matter what happens, I know that there's at least one person on the crew who always has my back. Plus, my job is one that is very all-consuming, often involving 14 hour days, and can be very emotionally taxing. It makes the long days soooo much easier for me emotionally, plus it means getting to spend the 40 minute commute with my husband, instead of alone. I love working with my husband, and hope it happens more often!MonsteRawrhttp://www.monsterawr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-75634553334429448162010-11-17T09:08:56.632-05:002010-11-17T09:08:56.632-05:00I never thought it would happen, but my husband an...I never thought it would happen, but my husband and I work on the same campus. He works as a minister in the church and I work for a non-profit organization also housed at the church. While our areas have little to nothing to do with each other, we are at the same staff meetings and our offices are just a few yards from each other. In my single working girl years I thought I would HATE this. I was fiercely independent and very focused at work. Turns out, I really love it. We didn't start working together until after our first year of marriage, which helped. I love that we don't work directly with each other - we don't have to make requests of each other or even report to the same supervisor. But it's wonderful to have someone to eat lunch with, someone who understands personalities, and the inner workings of the job. He gets my frustrations and sets me straight when I'm wrong. We leave work at work when we go home - it's a work-free zone. <br /><br />I don't think I would have enjoyed working with a boyfriend and don't think the dating a coworker thing would have worked for me either. But having my husband around works for me.LipDom Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313113579382361636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-28330676999799759492010-11-17T01:27:34.945-05:002010-11-17T01:27:34.945-05:00My husband and I actually met on the job in colleg...My husband and I actually met on the job in college. We were both resident advisers in the dorms (in different buildings). According to our supervisors, other couples had gotten together and eventually gotten married after being RAs together, too.<br /><br />Nowadays, my husband's and my job are pretty different, so even if we were employed by the same employer (which is still possible), our duties and departments would really have nothing to do with each other. I think it would be awkward--I definitely put on a different hat when I go to work and try to pry it off when I get home.<br /><br />There aren't any office couples that I know of at my work, although our current design intern is the girlfriend of our former design intern (he recommended her to fill his position when he left, so they never overlapped).Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098744323184143823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-44809295719648307632010-11-16T22:50:54.248-05:002010-11-16T22:50:54.248-05:00It would never happen - we work in polar opposite ...It would never happen - we work in polar opposite fields.<br /><br />And no, I'd hate it. I would never want to be with someone who also worked in media.<br /><br />One getting promoted would be weird...I am a rung above one of my fellow grads from uni (wouldn't say we are quite friends, but we are friendly) and I definitely feel a bit awkward making requests of her, but luckily that doesn't happen often. I'm also a step up from one of my old friends (who's working here temporarily) but I kind of make a joke out of it and make ridiculous, sweeping, OTT effusive requests when I need his help on something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
