I need to vent!
Right now I am just so angry and sad for my husband.
Let me explain the situation...
Since he was 16 or so he's worked at a family company owned by his best friends father.
He is the assistant manager and he commits everything he has to that damn job.
One of the things that he really wants to do in life is to coach a youth basketball or football team and this year he got accepted to do so, however because the owners son (my husbands best friend) coaches little league and it will overlap with my husbands coaching, he was told he can't do it.
It makes me so *** mad (and excuse my french) that the *** favorite card is played every time in that *** job.
Don't get me wrong I love his best friend, he was the best man at our wedding, however the fact that he can take off any *** day he wants, go anywhere he wants and get away with it while my husband can't even take of a Saturday to go to Disney for my Birthday or to do something he's dreamed about forever. My husband even offered to use his vacation in order to do so!
I'm so sad right now for him, and I honestly feel like crying. I know he is heart broken as he was really looking forward to this!
He also could of really used something to get his mind of his dad's cancer.
I just wish I could say something to someone and give them a big piece of my mind!
UGH!
Re: I need to vent!
That's sux @ss! And that's one of the downfalls of working for company where the owner's family is employed. You always know that when push comes to shove, their family comes first.
Your dh shouldn't give up on the idea. Has he talked to his bf about it? Maybe he can work something out?
Believe me, I've had daydreams of telling off my dh's work a few times for the way they treat him. But we need his paycheck lol
I hope it works out
Oh I would be so upset also. I hate double standards, especially in the work place.
I've wanted to yell at a bodd my husband had more than once. You guys can hang in there.
Ugh! I agree that's really, really uncool.
Coaching would be such a cool, positive thing for your husband; I really hope these jerks don't keep him from doing it completely. Maybe if he can't make the scheduling work to be the main coach, maybe he could be an assistant coach? Or if that falls through, maybe he could look into Big Brothers Big Sisters or the Boys and Girls club and see if he could help an individual child or a small group with their training?
I hope everything works out! :-)
