For many years we worked in different divisions but 3 years ago we both transferred to the same division. I worked with a few of his co-workers but never with him directly. It was fun carpooling to work together everyday. nana87 on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140578 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:58:45 +0000 nana87 1140578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we haven't, but weirdly, my parents work together and his parents work together as well! It's a really, really weird coincidence. and they're both strong marriages--my parents have been married almost 43 years, and his ~35 or so LuLu Mom on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140561 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:53:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1140561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We never have, and I think if we had to work in close quarters we would regret it, however I have mentioned to my DH about sales at my current place of business, but he's not interested in switchign.

It was totally fine and there were several other couples in the same position as us throughout the organization. However, due to the personnel structure (some employees are unionized and others aren't, there are huge pay scale differences between divisions, etc) it was kind of a relief when I left that job to start law school. Before that, I always felt caught in the middle when friends/coworkers on one side of the fence started sniping about those on the other side, which happened fairly regularly. lovehoneybee on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140224 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:14:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 1140224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I worked for the same store for 4 years. We were in different, but connected, departments (he was in the warehouse, I was in online shipping/CS). It was a tiny place, maybe 20 employees total, and we saw a lot of each other. We took lunch together and our jobs had us in contact repeatedly throughout the day. But it worked well for us. I tell him I knew that marrying him would be a good idea since we could work together all day and come home and still want to spend time together ;) mjane on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140197 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:06:11 +0000 mjane 1140197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband replaced me when I left my campus job in college, and later I replaced him at his teaching job when he left to go back to grad school! Great because we can gossip about all the coworkers, and have more fun at the holiday party etc. My parents worked together my whole life, so it's my normal... It did mean a lot of really dull conversation at the dinner table when I was a kid, where they rehashed meetings and griped about their colleagues. artsyfartsy on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140126 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:49:05 +0000 artsyfartsy 1140126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When we were teenagers we worked at the same grocery store as an after school job. That's where we met!

We rarely worled on projects together, but our office were just a staircase away and we saw each other a lot. It was great! I would do it again in a heartbeat, if I had the chance. pui on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140079 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:35:58 +0000 pui 1140079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH and I own a company and we work together in it side by side. Many people told us it would be a bad idea (we were dating when the company started) but it works totally for us. lamariniere on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1140077 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:35:22 +0000 lamariniere 1140077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That's how we met :-). My company had three separate office all on the same floor, and DH was transferred to one of the offices after I had already been there more than two years. We never actually had to interact, since we technically worked for different companies. But we arranged coffee dates in the kitchen. :-) ShootingStar on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139991 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:14:05 +0000 ShootingStar 1139991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I met at work and worked at the same company for 5 years, which was about 6 months into our marriage. We loved it and miss it all the time. We never worked on the same projects, which was key. I would stop by his desk in the morning and say hi for a few minutes, and we would have lunch together every day, and then I'd usually see him in the afternoon too. We also im'd quite a bit during the day (though we do that now too and work at different places). It was nice knowing all the same people, understanding each other's work stories and getting to see each other throughout the day without spending every minute together. I always feel like we don't get enough quality time now :(.

We've worked here together for 3 years now, and see each other throughout the day but not the whole time bc DH works in the field. He has his own stuff and I have mine, the only work we do together is I order the parts he needs.

We worked well together but it was a huge gossip subject for everyone else (ooh lesbians!) and we ran into issues there. We ended up shifting things around so we didn't work directly together anymore. We've since moved to another state and started separate careers. I think I'm thankful that we have different work spaces. I would still consider a position at her department to be closer to her...but for lots of reasons I couldn't be a police officer. :) heartonastring on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139982 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:12:20 +0000 heartonastring 1139982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I work on the same campus, but it's a huge place and our jobs are in no way related to one another. One of the nice things is that we're able to commute together, which saves on gas and parking, and gives us more time together. I'm not sure how I would fare if he worked just a few offices away though! sarah.clarisse on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139973 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:10:13 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1139973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We work for the same small/medium sized company. We work on the same projects for the same clients so we are actually together quite a lot. However, we met at work so it's always been this way! Honestly, sometimes I think it'll be weird when we don't work together anymore. I don't think we'd both stay her "forever" and I know I'll miss carpooling and lunching together every day :) MrsRcCar on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139970 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:09:57 +0000 MrsRcCar 1139970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Dh and I work for the same small company. We got hired together. We worked in the same company for years. Now we work separately. I do miss working with him, it was the best co-worker. :) blackbird on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139961 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:06:34 +0000 blackbird 1139961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Actually DH and I work for the same company. It is *huge*, though. He has to come and do work in my building sometimes so I see him every other day or so. We don't work on the same projects and don't hang out or anything...but he'll come by my desk, say hello, and then go do his business. Honestly I do not mind and wouldn't as long as we don't interact regularly on work projects. He could work 3 cubes down from me and I would rarely see him. looch on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139950 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:04:15 +0000 looch 1139950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, we do, and have had no issues. It is more stressful financially, because we kind of have all of our income eggs in one basket. autumnlove on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139944 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:03:31 +0000 autumnlove 1139944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First job in college! mrsjyw on "Do you or have you worked at the same company as your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-have-you-worked-at-the-same-company-as-your-so#post-1139943 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 10:03:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1139943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we met at my first job out of college at a financial service company! :P... it was fun and exciting secretly dating a manager (as i didn't take the job seriously), but i LOVE having my own place of work :) altho we do mesh well together professionally!

DH is looking to change careers and a possible opportunity has come up in a different department. The company is very large, but I work in a satellite office with 8 full time employees. DH would work in the same office, but in a different department. We would rarely, if ever, work on the same things/projects but we would probably only be a few cubes/offices away from each other. We are talking it over and I wondered if anyone else has been in a similar situation. How did it work out? Did you like it, or was it stressful?
