Question of the day

A situation arose in a family, the man earns N250,000 a month and the wife earns N350,000 a month and they work in the same company. One of them has to leave the job because it's the company's new policy that couples will no more be tolerated. Who do you think should leave the job with effective reasons?

hmmm difficult to say,but I think the husband.
coz loosing a hundred thousand coz of sentiment,will appear penny wise pound foolish. so in their best economic interest the husband should go.

In this economy, husband and wife should both look for jobs. Whoever finds a job should leave. If they make it about "man" and "woman" and who earns more, a man shd be working blah blah blah then they are both stupid. Either way, to go from a combined income of 600k to 350 or 250 is a great loss so if neither finds a job the man should leave. It calls for common sense.

The one that earns 350,000 should continue.i mean, He earns higher and his salary alone can give them a comfortable life. My opinion thou

If he is the type of man that is not threatened by his wife's success, he can even tell his wife to stay while he looks for another job, if he is the jealous type then the wife should leave and go look for another job, why? well, of what use is all that money if there is no peace in the family?....It really depends on the man.

It depends on the type of family or relationship, naija man no go ever gree.

The man should leave the job because he earns lower than the woman. He also should not stress his wife, he should search for another job.

Having discussed as a family unit, the man should leave the job. Reasons:
1. He is the head of the house, the warrior, the provider, the ultimate man. Its his duty to source for and toil d earth for finance.
2. He promised, in his marriage vows, to protect and cater for her. Thus keeping her in the job is a means of ensuring dat
3. With her wages, the family can get going while the man pursues other frontiers in a bid to be a conqueror.

Within the Nigerian society, please the woman should jeje leave if she knows she has nosy inlaws. Coz tomorrow now it will not be that she stayed coz she is being paid more....u know wat i mean.
Truth is there is no defintie answer sha but I feel that N100k should not be a deciding factor for who should stay or leave. Lerrus be honest,wat can N100k do for you in Lag or Abj. The deciding factor should have more substance like.....I dunno; guys help me out if you feel wat I'm saying.

Unknown said...

Naturally, looking at their both income, its easy to say, the Man should be the sacrificial lamp. But, here the reason why I would suggest otherwise and it has nothing to do with my gender. The man is suppose to be the bread winner of the house, becoming the House-man (like House-wife) would really punture his pride and ego, moreso, you and I know that men suck at such job of housekeeping.
Similarly, the women has you would agree a better placed to manage the decline in revenue to the house than the guy, her feminine instinct could spark off a mearger business idea that she engage in to support the man's effort. And perhaps this could also be a blessing for the family in disguise has she can now have enough time to norture and tend to the family.

Its not something hard,there will be a family meeting and both party will bear the effect . The wife's salary is #100,000 higher than that of the husband so she'll continue with the job because 100k na big moni .lol. and her salary shall be divided every month using ratio 7 : 5 .She takes #204,166 and her husband takes #145,833 pending when he'll get another job . And if he gets a job that pays him less thand #250k a month,both his salary and that of the wife will be added up every month and divided with thesame ratio or I'll PERSONALLY fire both of the from my company .lol

its simple, if there is UNDERSTANDING between the couple then the husband should leave the place for the wife and look for another job somewhere else. ONLY if there is UNDERSTANDING. If no understanding then the wife should find something else doing

D wife can leave....cos dis difference is nt much

Steve said...

Firstly,the issue should be discussed by both couple.
And if i may suggest, the woman should rather resign so that the man would be able to carry out his God-given responsibility of providing for both the wife and the entire family.
On the other hand side, the man should resign if he stands a better chance of getting employment somewhere else.
The bottom-line is, the man`s ability to provide for the family should not be denied him.
I rest my case.

The man should step down, Reason: Nigeria Economy needs lot of money to survive pls. 100k difference is a lot.,besides who employs married women dis day? It wil b easier for a man to get a job.

Escada said...

I would say the man, not because I'm a feminist but because, it is possible for him to ask for a higher salary in another organisation and be at par or even higher than his wife, salary wise. However, if it's the lady, she'll command a even higher salary and increase the difference btw their salarues giving room for animosity and the likes!

Anonymous said...

The woman should leave the job as her husband should take care of her. Being a husband with no finance will severely dent your ego and a lot more.

Anonymous said...

This is where wisdom comes to play, I wud advice they sit down to talk,d immediate salary does not tell who has a better potential or chances of growth in the organisation,that should be considered.they should also think of who is better qualified and stand a better chance out there,if d man is better qualified he should resign and look for something else,however if they have kids the woman should resign if the job is time consuming so she can get a lesser paying job n still have more time for d family.its a difficult 1 but wisdom n humility should come to play here. I wish them well. Mykel

First I'll consider who has better growth prospects in the company and who has better chances of a good job outside. However, I'll leave the question of who to leave the Job to the couple involved.

Raphael Anagbado said...

The man should resign. The rationale thereto is because the wife's pay is higher; and also because, gone are the days a man is seen as the sole and/or main provider. Wives these days can also be either main, equal, somewhat equal or substancial provider, depending on her earning capacity.

OK, let's be logical and reasonable here. The woman obviously earns more. We're in a modern day and age where either can be the breadwinner of the family.
The man should leave because the woman makes more money. However, that doesn't mean he'll go home to sit and relax his butt. I'd hope he'll be in search of another job?
They both have to come to a mutual understanding however, because I've seen/heard of situations whereby the husband becomes jealous of his working-class wife.
So yeah, let the husband leave.

The wife should be the one to quit from that company because it's mainly the man's duty to make provisions of the family needs; without minding the fact that her monthly earning is greater than that of her husband. Besides, the man can still use his influence to secure her anther job somewhere else.

The wife should leave, and I am not a chauvinist. If the husband leaves, it will cause problems, especially if the husband is the insecure type. The wife just has to sacrifice for the husband, so as to not crush his manly pride.
Basically, I think it's something about which the couple needs to talk over, and arrive at a mutual agreement.

LMB said...

If the husband were to be the higher earner, this would be a no brainer question. Its quite simple they have a hundred thousand reasons why the wife must stay employed. From a financial point of view, they go from having a joint income of 600k to 250 if the husband keeps his employment. Whereas they have 100k more if the wife keeps hers.
I will go with more any day, any emergency may arise. More is good.

From an arithmetic angle the husband should leave. However his pride will take a big blow, if he/they can look past that and the lady won't be an ass about supporting their home till he gets another job, no wahala.

Anonymous said...

The woman should leave if #1 there wnt be financial pressure on the man and #2 if she prefers a happy home to a big income, because she staying wld affect the general ego of her husband.its natural.God created men to be the breadwinner, and he will be emasculated and fustrated. She shld honour her husband and leave, probably when she does, he will be promoted to her office and earn as much.

Queen Linda, first of all I hope you're enjoying your vacation...Pls do oh, you've been working very hard. Then to your question, for obvious reasons and taken into consideration the nature of our economic situation, I think the man should leave the job for the wife who earns more and look for something elsewhere. It is usually more devastating for most women to leave a job they've put in so much to attain their present position/status, but a man can easily switch.

If I be the guy I will leave the job oh. why should we now make N350k less instead of N250k less

If the family really needs the money, the husband should leave and let the wife stay since she earns more.

Ds is a difficult decision b'cos is not ideal for either d man or d woman to be out of job considering d situation of things in our country, but d man should leave b,cos her wives pay is better than dt of her husband supposing their is a provision to get another job for him b,cos it is not good for d man to be out of job as d head of d family. I hope his wife will cooperate in d family spending. U know what i mean.

The man should leave the job.N100000

I think the man should leave just because the woman earns more and it will go a longer way while he searches for another job. N100k more as opposed to the woman leaving

The wife shud quit her job, this is bcos her duty is to take care of her family especially her kids. She need 2be there 4dem nd also cook 4her husby although dey need dat income but u can't ask d man 2quit! Its highly impossible to mk d man a stay-at-home dad!

of course the man, the woman makes more, plus if the man stays they would loose 100,000 naira. This is about what is best for the couple, i guess the ultimate decision is theirs. Goodluck

I think it's better the woman leaves b'cos she as a good qualification than the man that was why she earns more than him.. So it will be easy for her to get a better Job b'cos of her qualification

This would depend on a number of factors:- firstly, what are their respective roles, long term prospects for the different jobs i.e. promotion and where the role fits in with the long term goals of the company as some roles develop slowly but have better longer term prospects regardless of economic situation. When these have been looked at and discussed then they can decide based on informed choice as opposed to face value.

The man. Imagine if the woman became the bread winner and my guy finds it difficult to get another job..
For the woman to be earning 350k, it shows shes highly qualified. She might find another job. To be safe than sorry, the woman should step down. Come on have some respect for ya husband woman!!....Yinny

The guy should leave the job, it's not easy but the family would have more money(350k) compared to 250k if he eremains.

The husband should be the one to leave. Cos if d husband decides to stay,wat gives dem d asssurance dat the wife would get a higher salary in d new job she gets. So,to be on d safe side,the husband should be d one quitting since his pay is lesser.

Very personal. The husband & wife should sit together, analyse pros and cons of each scenario and make ana informed decision based on facts not culture or myths

l think the husband should step down since the wify earns more; the wife should support her Hubby with at least # 100000 every month till he get another lucrative job. IMO

Na d woman go stay abeg 100k difference no small thing ooo

Anonymous said...

The man of course bcos his pay is smaller.

In my opinion I think the lady should quit because originally its the man's duty to provide for his house-hold,and again women will always bring up trouble at any slightest mistake made by her man because she is one working for their income.

The man shuld keep working cos its very difficult for men to stay without jobs. They will just ave to manage the 250k till the woman finds some oda work.God go help them sha.

The wife should leave, regardless the fact she earns more than him. She can open a business if she doesn't get another job.

The woman should leave be cos the problems that will arise from the woman being the bread winner is worth more than the extra 100k.
Don't sell the peace of ur home for 100k extra. The woman can always get another job.

The man should quit only if an agreement can be reached that the woman will take the husband's responsibility till he secures a job..@I_am_Guan

The man should leave the job,since the wife has made more progress with her career.

Also at the man level he and his wife should work towards getting better alternative for the guy.

The man should leave. One, he is making less money and two, most men have a better chance of getting job in this society than women.
