Would you work at a place that severely mistreated your spouse? Let’s say you both worked there and neither one works there anymore. Would you consider going back if you know how much the place hurt your spouse and how he is still resentful? For the sake of argument, let’s say you have plenty of other opportunities.

  1. No, I would choose a different company since you have plenty of other opportunities of companies that didn’t treat your spouse poorly

  2. No, and I wouldn’t even consider it.

    I don’t associate with anyone, anything, or any place that causes negative impacts to my marriage or my daily life. Choosing to do this, is knowing it brings issues to your life and with the spouse is a selfish perspective.

  3. Huge companies can have so many different pockets where one group over here has wonderful jobs while other people over there are treated terribly.

    I think the basic tenet is to not work anywhere that is a toxic situation and it doesn’t matter who was there before or not. Just choose every job wisely and don’t accept a job that will expose you to abuse.

    But it sounds like there’s an axe to grind here and the wronged spouse will feel “betrayed”.

  4. Id ask if it was really the company though. Was it the company or certain people in the company? I’ve worked for good companies and seen some nasty departments.

    My guess is that’s why you’re asking, right? If it was really a *company* that severely mistreated your spouse why would you want to work there anyway? Why work somewhere that severely mistreats people anyway? Regardless of what your spouse thinks. Unless they’ve gone through a massive change/re-org to fix this.

    I wouldn’t though. If I have plenty of opportunities then it’s not worth the fight at home.
