Some men aspire to do well in their job, provide for their family, produce for themselves and their company. It's a choice.

Some men aspire to do well sitting on the beach in their speedo's.

I have an idea which one you are...

It doesn't. But if someone needs a key and it's vital to the business, It wouldn't bother me in the least. I can't understand the type of mentality that wouldn't be bothered by fricking their business over because they don't want Saturday morning cartoons interrupted to answer a simple question.

Your views are 30 years behind the times. I've never worked for a company like this.

Most of us have good employer relations.

I work 45 hours a week, pay federal income tax, pay my bills and student loans and don't take a check from the government. What else do you want?

If this is such a good idea, why did they need a law to enforce it?

Then quit bitching and be a man. I'm sick and tired of these panty waisted men that gripe and complain about their "lot" in life. Get up, do it, and move on. If you hate it, move to France. If you can't, quit bitching. I work 70-80 hours a week, I dwarf your pussy 45. You don't hear me or other men whining and bitching like a school girl.

I'm not complaining about my lot, like I already told you, I'm lucky to have a boss that shares my views. I'm complaining about how I see others being treated. It's called empathy.

Stay on your own topic.

I said criminal behavior is nothing new for corporate America, which you laughed at. All I did was give you an example.

Are you suggesting that people have no choice in whom they work for?

Because I can see outside of my own situation and empathize with others struggles.

France can do what they want and they're free to fall behind if they want as well.

. The other sentence was lagniappe.

This is fricking hilarious.
