Relations and Probations

Every job has a probation period, an introduction period to the company. It is within these first few months where directors, superiors, bosses, and managers decide whether you’re a good fit with the company. Here they decide if you’re good for the long haul, or if you’ll ditch at the first sight of trouble. Can you handle the pressure?

As it turns out, families too have such a period. Parents need to know if the person their child decides to spend the rest of his or her life with is good enough. Mothers want to be certain their sons have someone to take care of them and fathers want to know that the guys their daughters choose will treat them right. Will these newcomers survive the long haul? Or will they break under the pressure? Will they stick around when the going gets tough? Or will they run and flee from responsibilities? Will these newcomers choose fight or will they choose flight?
