I agree. The problem occurs when the chatter occupies nearly 30% of my working day. I'm okay if it's 10-15% I guess. But not really. Ideally it'd be like 0-5

I agree. The problem occurs when the chatter occupies nearly 30% of my working day. I'm okay if it's 10-15% I guess. But not really. Ideally it'd be like 0-5%. I don't like feeling like an unproductive schlub at work. Y'all are paying me all this money to work, not to socialize. Sorry it took so long to get to that point, but ultimately that's it. I'm getting paid a lot of money to work. Not to socialize. And I will gladly work my ass off so don't think I need to socialize a whole bunch throughout the day to get shit done or to enjoy myself.

> I don't like feeling like an unproductive schlub at work. I am very jealous. Some of us have very boring, unchallenging, crap corporate-drone jobs in which the 30% social distraction is the only way to make it through the day without going mad. Feeling 'unproductive' doesn't factor into it when one's work seems meaningless. Quick riposte: 'just leave' doesn't pay the mortgage.
