I never said it applied to all. I made a point to say that there were exceptions. Sorry for striking a nerve especially when I said that. However I to know enough people to draw a reasonable conclusion on top of the "Big business" survey that there are many people in this country that are basically hour hogs. They will sit in the office for hours on end because it's easier to quantify time spent in the office then the actual amount of work completed.

To the extent that you think it does I disagree but I will admit it goes on.

Sorry I snapped. I personally don't have much experience with it but I've had friends that work at the Big 4 Accounting firms that complain about being stuck in the office all day while their boss basically sits there doing nothing and anyone that leaves on time is frowned upon. I just wish that as a country we would emphasize more work smarter not harder or in this case longer.

So yeah NFL Lockout. It sucks. Bunch of greedy bastards in ivory tower.

Don't feel bad I knew where you were coming from. Everyone I know who works for the Federal Gov. all have nice stories about how there is a lot of wasted money due to fellow workers doing nothing but surfing the net all day. People making almost 6 figures.

Lol, yeah it just gets to me when I call my friends who are Accountants and Engineers and they tell me they can't leave work yet because it'll look bad even though they and everyone else finished all their work for the day.

Funny thing with government though is they have to pay people well enough so they're willing to put up with the boredom and snails pace of buerocracy.
