“Honey, I’m home,” you say as you walk through the door after a long day at work. What type of reception do you receive from your significant other? Do you get the feeling that your S.O. is thanking his or her lucky stars that you made it home safely? Or is he or she asking you a million questions about where you were all day, what you did, and the details of every single conversation you had?

If you feel as though you’re under investigation each day, as though you’re placing too much worry on your significant other, or if your job causes a lot of arguments, your job and your relationship might not match up so well. Some careers are tougher on relationships than others.
Using data on divorce rates and job stress, we’ve created a list of careers that make the work-love life balance a lot harder. And when we talk about jobs that are tough on a relationship, we’re not only referring to the obvious ones (think exotic dancer); you may not expect some of these careers to throw salt on your relationship game. Check out the jobs on the following pages.

 

1. Casino worker (and other gaming service worker)

Many casinos are open 24/7/365. Workers at these types of establishments often work irregular hours, and they may even have to work on holidays. In addition to working during odd hours, casino workers may work around alcohol, gambling, and a party-like environment — this can place added strain on a relationship, too.

A 2010 study of Census data published by the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology found that gaming services workers had one of the highest divorce rates relative to other occupations. With a divorce rate of 31.4% (34.7% for gaming cage workers), this is exceptionally high when compared to the roughly 16% of Americans across all occupations who had been divorced or separated at the time of the data collection. And, to top it all off, gaming services workers are only paid a median salary of around $27,000 per year, per BLS estimates.

2. Massage therapist

We all know what it’s like to have that green-eyed monster emerge. In an Oprah.com publication, Helen Fisher describes jealousy as a “sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation.” It’s not unique to men or women, and even other species (like chimps and bluebirds) are faced with jealousy.

Given that the job of a massage therapist involves physical interaction, we probably don’t even need to explain why this occupation could place a burden on a relationship. “What type of clients did you have today?” and “What exactly did you do all day?” are some routine questions a message therapist may hear from a jealous significant other.
Massage therapists are paid a moderate salary — roughly $40,000 per year — to perform their services. According to the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology study, the divorce rate across this occupation is exceptionally high, at 38.2%.

3. Waiter or bartender

Bartenders are consistently around people who are consuming alcohol. They are assigned the task of being in the center of it all, as a big part of their job is to improve the customer experience. It requires a certain degree of people skills to bartend, and some people are really great at it.

When you’re in a relationship, however, this job can be a source of problems. Bartenders may not know exactly what time they’ll be home from work — they often have to wait until all of the customers leave the establishment so they can perform their side-work before leaving for the night. The Journal study found that bartenders have the second-highest divorce rates, at 38.4%.

4. Athlete, entertainer, or dancer

Famous marriages, separations, divorces, and remarriages are often in the public eye. And with a 28.5% divorce rate among athletes, performers, entertainers, and related workers, there’s no shortage of juicy gossip in this arena. Maybe it’s the nature of the industry that places a strain on relationships: A large amount of travel, attention, and stress can place a burden on any couple.

Dancers and choreographers are in a similar boat. Rated No. 1 for the occupation that’s most likely to get divorced, dancers and choreographers have a 43.1% divorce rate.
o maintaining a relationship. Odd hours, coupled with a unique work environment, can cause strain on any couple. Plus, waiters and bartenders may face financial issues, as they generally work for tips, which is a notoriously inconsistent form of income.

Legal technicalities must not hamper pension scheme—Acting CJN On December 1, 20165:33 pmIn NewsComments The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, says legal technicalities and attitudes of employers and other stakeholders must not hamper the objectives of the pension scheme in Nigeria. Onnoghen, who spoke at a sensitisation workshop on the contributory pension scheme, identified the other stakeholders as Pension Fund Administrators and Pension Custodians. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads The workshop was organised by National Pension Commission (PENCOM) for judges and senior judicial officers in Abuja. “My lords, regulators and officers, I must caution that technicalities by lawyers, attitudes of certain employers, pension administrators and pension custodians must not hamper the good objectives of the Federal Government. “As I held in Central Bank of Nigeria Verses Amao and Ors involving a similar scenario, it is disturbing because the people involved are senior citizens of this country who have contributed their quotas to the development of the nation during their prime.’’ Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Walter Onnoghen taking the oath of office before the President at the State House, Abuja. Photo by Abayomi ADESHIDA 10/11/2016 He decried the attitude of the bank toward its pensioners, adding that it appeared not to see the injustice or inequality the government sought to redress through the contributory scheme. “Appellant contends even in the face of statutory and constitutional provisions that the Central Bank of Nigeria is not part of the Federal Public Service for the purposes of pension and other retirement benefits,’’ he said. Onnoghen advised that organisations in Nigeria should wear a human face in the treatment of senior citizens because it could be anybody’s turn to be one in the future. “We must re-examine our attitude towards the senior citizens of this country so as not to make them regret their sacrifice for the nation in whatever capacity,’’ he said. Onnoghen said that pension fund governance must be aligned with good corporate governance recognised as an important part and parcel of efficient pension system. He said everybody owed this generation and generations yet unborn to ensure that pensioners who devoted their lives and strengths to serve Nigeria received their pension benefits promptly. Onnoghen noted that in order to consolidate this consciousness, everybody must support the Federal Government’s fight against corruption. He said this called for objectivity and impartiality by regulatory officials, accountability by pension administrators and transparency by pension fund custodians and other stakeholders. Earlier, PENCOM Director-General, Mrs Chinelo Anohu-Amazu, said previous workshops conducted in 2013 by the agency for judges was remarkable in the Nigerian pension reform implementation. She, however, said there had been challenges in the implementation because of the lack of adequate understanding of the responsibilities by stakeholders. The director-general said some challenges also arose in the course of enforcing compliance on recalcitrant employers by the commission which ultimately were resolved in the courts. Earlier, Mrs Roseline Bozimo, Administrator, National Judicial Institute, said the workshop was organised in realisation of the main objectives of the institute’s law. She said this was the first workshop that had involved judges on the contributory pension scheme, laws, practices and ethics since the promulgation of the Pension Reform Act 2014. Bozimo said that the National Judicial Institute was partnering PENCOM to ensure that there was an effective development of the nation’s pension laws. She explained that the workshop would enhance and equip the judges in their skills for pension adjudication.
