I'm not saying it's right, it's just how it is. People that drive poorly because their chatting with their friends or texting are be idiotic but I just don't see it quite the same way for people that are working. It's not good but I feel like to a certain extent they are doing what they have to do. For me I work from home as much as possible to avoid any unecessary face to face contact with humans so I'm able I rarely have to worry about taking a business call while driving. Some folks have no choice other than to find another job which seems to be a little difficult right now. Again, texting/tallking about work in the car is not a part of my life but I see why it is for many people and I won't point a finger at them.
All my texts are fishing related or sexual, mostly both!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm calling BS on this. I hang w/a decent amount of these folks. I'd say >50% of the texts/calls are personal. I'd also say that ALOT of the stuff they do could be managed during working hours. I know of more than one exec, that has a good balance between home/family and works LESS off hours than others. It is a matter of wise time use and discipline AT WORK. Work smarter... not harder.
And IF work demands 80+ hours a week? That is there decision. In no way is that at excuse nor should it jeopardize my personal safety. They want the big office? Well it's gonna suck at home. That's why you are compensated accordingly.
