Just sooooo dumb, I don't get it.

At the end of the day it's your fucking choice to do what you do whether it's because you really have to or you think you have to, so stop fucking broadcasting it because I don't give two shits.

    In the case I'm referencing there's literally three people that sit in the area that I do and none of them are her bosses. So nobody within ear shot could give a shit, nor do they matter.

    well if she gets her "brand" up that she works a lot, to her that's likely a net positive. even if she's doing it subconsciously

    I totally get your point, but that's unfortunately not the working world we live in

    Good for you, you know what I'll be doing? Enjoying dinner with my family, and time with them before going to bed.

    You know what I don't say? Shit like "Ok, off to my second job!". You know why? Because I don't care if you know what I'm doing outside of work. Nor do I care that you're working outside of normal business hours. It doesn't make me respect you any more.
    I was at work earlier and got the notification that Scrocks has posted in WIY thread from Tapatalk but I was really in the zone, just swamped with work stuff, so I didn't read this until now.

    But really, the only time I bring up my second job is "I can't stay late/I have to actually leave on time tonight, I have my other job at 5:15" or something like that. Other than that, I'm pretty happy that my office doesn't engage in this shit. My boss has literally come down AT 5pm to basically kick me out. Nicer, more in a "just making sure you're wrapping things up" sort of way, but fuck it's so great that there's no pressure to work outside of 9-5. It's allowed, if its necessitated, but it's nowhere near required.

    The 2nd job I’m referencing is sarcastically stating I have to go home and parent which would be equally obnoxious to do.

    I think the US is tops... at least in the corporate world. I've worked with people all over the globe. We seem to be the only country that doesn't close down for at least several days a year for some extended 'holiday' break. Europe is the worst... nothing gets done in the summer or around Christmas. Something happened this year where a lot of the people I work with took an extended Easter break also.

    I watched a documentary on South Korea the other night, it was about the culture and how kids are driven to become really really intelligent and succeed in life... they made mention of how it's commonplace to work 60-70 hours a week. And kids will go to like 4 hours of private lessons after a full day of high school

    When people pronounce "editable" like "edible".

    I know "editable" doesnt exactly roll off the tongue, but still.

    Not everyone can speak as clearly as you assholes.

    My boss struggles with 'editable'... but I know he's intelligent enough (and he's typed it out) to know what word he's trying to say and that it just doesn't come out right.

    Just take your time and enunciate. Who cares if you sound like a moron trying to pronounce it syllable by syllable... you sound like more of a moron saying something is delicious when what you're trying to say is that something can be changed.

    My wife can't pronounce the word "dyslexic," it's the cutest darn thing ever.

    I can see how editable can trip people up.

    I understand the need for brevity but personally I would try to avoid the use of a word as clunky as "editable" in the first place
