Hehehe....Every man should work for his survival and that of his family. However, there are many factors people often consider before accepting a job offer like salary package and general welfare. Most times, they weigh their options in an atmosphere devoid of any inhibition. But if the employer is one’s father-in-law, should a man accept the offer?
I’ll be happy – Bamitale Mary
Why not? If he is getting his pay and doing his job well, wouldn’t he do the same if his father owned the company? If it’s my husband in question, I will be very happy for him to have even got a job. He could only quit if he gets a better one. I would try to tell my dad to see my husband as his own child and not as a staff member. In a situation where he had been working for my dad before I even met him, I would advise him not to leave the job. But I will support him in having our own company someday.
I won’t feel comfortable – Adesuwa Oseghale
In this situation, there will not be much respect for him in my family and besides, there may be recurrent misunderstanding because I won’t feel comfortable. If we have no option, then he could work for just a short period of time before he gets another one. The truth is, no matter how my dad treats him, I would not be all that comfortable
.The company could end up becoming his – Abiola Agbeje
I don’t see anything bad in that. If the man is my husband, he must be loyal to my father. He could do that for a little while before he sets up his own company. It is for the woman to submit to her husband and assist him. I will be so excited if at the end of the day, my father gives my husband the opportunity to manage the company and I am very sure my father will be happy that he will do it well, but that is if he trusts him. I will tell my husband that my father is also his father and he should see himself too as his son.
It is not right – Ayomide Nurat
As for me, I don’t think it is right because I won’t feel comfortable even if my dad doesn’t view it this way. I could only accept if he had been working in my dad’s company before he proposed to me. Even at that, I will encourage him to get another job as soon as possible. For instance, if my husband gets promoted above other employees — even if it is by his hard work — others could feel my dad is doing so because he’s his in-law.
The kind of job he’s doing matters – Iromuanya Chinyere
This life is very simple and it depends on how you take it. To me, there is nothing bad if my husband is working for my father. Though, the kind of job he is doing matters here. I wouldn’t like him to be my father’s driver or cleaner or any other direct job, for instance. But if he doesn’t work directly with my father, then it is fine. Looking at today’s economy, there is nothing bad in my father employing my husband.
It could bring insults and embarrassment – Abijah Frank
Doing the job is not the issue, but being wise while on the job. So as to avoid potential insults and embarrassment, it is preferable not to work with my father-in-law. Even if I do, I will continue to search for another one. But really, there is no big deal in it. We just have to cooperate as a family to achieve our goals. I will also be very wise not to be held responsible for any blame in the company.
It’s better to find another work – Olutayo Babatunde
I will never love or want to work with my father-in-law. As a wise man who was not forced to marry his wife, it is not too good. Everyone in their family will know my salary and some things about me. The worse would be if I had been working with the man before I met my wife. In that case, leaving the job for another one will be my priority. If I had married my wife before I was given the offer, I would turn it down.
Yes, if they understand each other – Oyedele Ajayi
Actually I don’t see anything bad in it. If my wife and I understand each other, there is nothing that can stop me from working with her father, though her attitude could determine whether to stop the work or find another. The most important thing is for us to love, trust and understand each other.I’ll gladly work with him – Nkoju OkeyI am okay with it so far it does not affect my marriage. I don’t see anything bad in it at all. I will only ensure my wife is comfortable with the decision. At least, it is better I do that than not having a job. I will work for my father-in-law just as if I am working for my father. Pride or ego should be taken away if someone wants to make it in life
.It’s no big deal – Olamilekan Olawale
I can work very well with my father-in-law. I have no reason to be proud if I don’t have another job. I will even be more responsible to my in-law because I will see him as my own father. It would even be a thing of great joy because tomorrow, he could hand over the company to my wife and whatever my wife owns is also mine. I have an edge over others because if I behave well, the man will also respect me and he might put me at a top position in the company. I stand to enjoy a lot from him only if I can humble myself. There is no big deal at all.
