I need a beer though, fuck those fuckers.

That was fucking classless and I thought it was just a mishap, but nope, this family owned company doesn't give a shit unless your last name is theirs.
Geezer or not, we're you doing personal ish on company time? I can understand why they wouldn't like that, tactful or not.

Personal stuff = "whelp, gotta hit the shitter. Back in a bit!"

Or go on smoke break. Or something.

That's the thing though, it was either I answered a few texts and transfer the money while still doing whatever little work I have to do right now or just take half the day off and fix that personal shit?
I don't believe it is in his or my best interest to take half a day off.

A bit of water in his wine would have been a smarter choice.

Nevertheless, old guy is clearly disconnected considering we use iPads and our personal cellphones daily to test websites adaptive layouts.

Fuck that. I've yet to see one professional or semi-professional work environment where there wasn't always a time for slacking. As long as your work gets done, who the fuck cares if you sit around for a bit doing fuck all.

The only work places that are so strictly enforced against slacking are trades (makes sense) and minimum wage jobs, or the likes.

Oh, I don't disagree. But The Company™ isn't always logical.

And arguing with stupid just doesn't work.

Go figure, I don't make a fortune but it's definitely not minimum wage either.

I've said it since the beginning though, the boss isn't bad but he runs an internet centered biz like you'd run a fucking GM plant. Clashes all the time. He's a decent guy otherwise, most times.

True. And most places formally allow a little bit of personal time on the clock. But, for example, the easiest way to shitcan someone is to document every little instance of that and then say goodbye.

Gotta check yo neck.

i wonder what the actual purpose of ball hair is. I mean, fish that live in underground lakes lose their eyes over evolution. You'd think once we got boxers on the hair would have kinda been extinct.

Hmmm....

Depends on the organization and the culture. GENERALLY, most are fine so long as you hit your targets, deliverables by the due dates...Obviously, you don't go broadcasting your outside-of-work activities during work hours. But, I'm not about to pull aside one of my developers who is on Facebook or whatever and read him/her the riot act either so long as they are meeting my expectations and not impacting our timelines, doesn't matter to me.

But, there are also those organizations which want to squeeze every last second out of you working for them.

Proper way to do it. I have no issues with a ruthless boss, but I do more than humanly possible when we get in a rush. It just happens that my job isn't a 8 hours of straight work most days. I can't help that and honestly I'm not going to start fucking around to make it look like I'm working. We're grown adult FFS, should I really have to pretend I'm super busy when I'm not?
