Hi Guys,
I'm hoping you can help me come to a decision about my work situation. Basically at the moment I'm in a job I generally enjoy and get on well with all my colleagues. It doesn't pay amazing money, but I get by, the one thing that bothers me more than anything is the 35 mile commute every morning and night. It doesn't seem like a lot, but at least once a week it can take me 3 hours to get home and I'm finding myself constantly exhausted. My boss has been great about it and tried to find any way possible to make it easier for me (which so far hasn't worked), so he's pretty much resigned to the fact that I might leave one day because of it.
My boyfriends dad works for a global company and is head of IT for Europe and the Middle East. For a while now, my boyfriend has mentioned that his dad could find a job for me and turns out a role is available doing exactly the same job as I do currently. It would be based just down the road from my house, so no commute, and I'd be earning a lot more money - great, right? On paper it sounds perfect, but there's one thing holding me back.....his dad. I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of working with my bfs father. I wouldn't report directly to him, in fact I'd probably not see him at all, but it just doesn't feel right.
So what do you think I should do? Would you ever work with your partners father?? It probably sounds like a no brainer, but I'm very confused!
Cheers fellas
