business traveling, anyone else do this? Hi my husband works for a contruction company, he has taken them from 1 states to 8 states. but he is never home. i just got a great state job. something that i am porud of. my husband is never home, but this morning he calls and says that his company will fly all of us to long beach ca, the boss said they will pay me the salary i was making with the state and give my husband a raise based on the living exspenses in CA. the will lease us a home and pay all the utilites...next we will go to colorado..now im very excited but my parents would be heartbroken over us and the GRANDBABY!!!! also my mom made a good point that i hate to bring to my husbands attention, no he makes really good money, top of his field, but they had promised him a raise a ways back and he hasnt gotten yet. so my mom is scared we would get out there and something would happened and we would be stuck. do company's sign contracts with you when they send you somewhere? i would think so... any informaton out there on this? anyone else travel like that for a company?? would really like some input!! |
I don't have any experience with this, but I thought I bump up your post incase anyone else does. This sounds like a GREAT opportunity. However, if it's true, as your mom pointed out, that he never received a raise he was promised, I hope this isn't a case of being too good to be true. If you are going to be up-rooted across the country, I would want all terms in writing. I would have an attorney check it over also. You don't want to sell your house, end up unemployed in CA with hubby making the same salary he currently is. This is a huge step for your family... I would make sure that they company will follow through with all of their promises. If they do follow through, it's a great offer and I wish you all the best of luck! |
Sounds like an opportunity of a life time! However, keep in mind, verbal promises are often times forgotten. My family was a product of a "Verbal" arrangement and ended up in the Mid-West; far away from both friends and family alike. Things seemed fine at first and then as time went by, things that were promised BEFORE the relocation were miraculously overlooked and/or forgotten. Well, that was a hard lesson learned! Three years and a new job later, we're back on the East Coast where we feel we should be with the difference being a little thing called a "Relocation Package Agreement" - Whereas ALL things promised and agreed upon by the Company and Employee are in writing. It protects both parties from those "Verbal Agreements" being distorted or even worse...Forgotten down the line. I wish you and your family the best of luck! |
Thanks!!!! i have no clue what to do, i did tell my husband that it all needed to be in a contract. because i just got a job at dmv, just little over a month ago. his company said they would pay me my salary from there to work for my husbnad as an assistant. at ca rates with his raise. but like i told my mom it might never pan out. we dont own a home we rent from the best landlady we have ever had. we would keep the house because we would want something to come back to. we shouldnt be in ca more than a few months but they did say something about colorado next?? any how my parents flipped because they dont want the grandbaby or me to go so far away (and of course my husband, they love him but are used to him being gone) i would love the experience but it also worrys me, supposedly we are to make a decision in 2 weeks, but i havent heard anything else about it since my husband first brought it up the other morning. it seems it was a midnight call made to my husband sunday night from the owner....i would really hate to lose my job at dmv but my husband makes a lot more then me and that is the sole income..this is going to be a hard decision. i think one reason this came up is because my husband was complaining to the owner that he hasnt seen me or our son more than 4 times a month in 7 months. he says he feels like a single dad with visitation. then when he is home i have to cram a weeks worth of stuff on him so that day will have a lot of up and downs. and it stresses us bot out, we would really like to spend some time together....ohhh but then im really close to my parents i would be lost with out them i know im rambling on and off subjects..sorry if it doesnt make sense...i thinking about all of this with the worst case of hippcups ever!!!!!...lol |
