My husband, Bryan, is starting a new job on July 1. Well, it's not technically a new job. For the last few months he's been on his own with one primary customer. He will now be a full-time employee for this company. He's still working for the same company, but there will still be a lot of changes, both good and bad.
Good: He has the security of knowing exactly when he's getting paid. He will have health insurance (we're currently on my employer's insurance). He'll have an actual office outside of our home.
Bad: Loss of flexibility. He won't be home with the puppies as much, and it will be more difficult to take off early on my half-day Fridays. Different pay schedule that's either positive or negative depending on your point of view.
He also will be provided with a new car that he's currently in the process of selecting. It has to be GM and it has to be in the mid-price range and it has to have good gas mileage. He likes the Silverado pick-up truck.
I DO NOT like pick-up trucks, especially not for a man with a wife and two puppies! They have such little cab space. So currently we're having a disagreement about that. He likes another car that I am not crazy about but I would much rather have that than a pick-up truck. I know it's not my car, and not entirely my decision, but he hasn't really given me any say throughout this whole job switch process so the least he can do is not get a hideous pick-up. Maybe I am being selfish, but I am an opinionated person that needs to have a voice!
