My God, do you actually talk like that in real life, and if so, how do you expect to get an actual job...I mean I am 24 and I know that you have to grow up sometime.

If you talk professionally at work & interviews, then what you do out of wowrk is irrelevant.

Because its a reflection on your personality, and either way in one situation or another, you are going to be percieved as fake...many companies have functions outside the workforce...do they act professional or grown up then, or do they act "ghetto" since its technically outside of work???

That's what I thought.

That is a true comment. You should always be yourself.

So, a person should NEVER do anything like drink, or tell an off-color joke or two, outside of work, b/c it's something they shouldn't do at work, and may be perceived as being fake? 🙄

My husband was recently called out by a supervisor who was surprised by the casual language he was using with some coworkers, since she'd never heard him speak that way before. He ...

There is relaxed casual conversation then there is speaking professional at work then "speaking ghetto"...totally different dialect, and has nothing to do with causual. I am only saying what I see in the work place...I get a lot of advice from my dad who does a lot of hiring and firing, and has done so for many years. Its a reflection of the company how you act at, and out of the office. Your family can't "fire" you so to speak to the comparison isn't there. I cuss outside of work, I say funny jokes, I don't however, change my entire dialect and speak "ghetto". You misconstrued my point entirely.

I've heard my husband using all 3 types of speaking that you've identified. He doesn't sound "fake" using any of them. His job started him at $50k/yr, and his supervisor personally hand-picked him to groom him for a promotion in the next 1-2 yrs that will start him at $70k/yr, all before even turning 30. Luckily, his coworkers or supervisor aren't around when he "speaks ghetto," so they don't know, nor would they care when he's off the clock. He doesn't walk around with his company's logo on his chest.

Now, you've seperated professional, casual, and "ghetto" into different dialects. You did that in your very first line. If going from professional to casual isn't being fake, then why would going from professional to "ghetto," or casu...

Don't let the hatas bring ya down, who cares what ya say, we all aint from the same life right?? Bless ya girl and you sound like a sweetie, holla at ya boy, he got it right aiight.

lol.. This whole thread is funny.. GST types his posts so perfectly "ebonic" that is reeks of someone who just found urbandictionary.com..

Very amusing..



But lets not totally invalidate Shlitter's gist.. This is in fact a message board on the internet.. and I get you're hubby is gifted in all of those "dialects" and good for him.. However.. there is a certain truth that people do in fact make judgments on you based on appearance, speech etc.. I guess it depends on who you surround yourself with.. I mean lets be real.. if I was to show a lot of GST's posts to lets say the CEO's or top 50 execs in the fortune 500 companies or lets say anyone in government in washington they would probably think its another language.. 😉 ...

P.S. "That's what I thought" isn't very professional, or respectful, at all. How do you expect to get or keep a job if you speak to your supervisors that way? And you must by your own logic, since that is "a reflection of your personality." 😛

You trippin and jappin off cuz you aint got game yo, i be ballin and dropping more in a week than you pullin yearly plus pimpn the ladies. Don't diss the anti corporate and quite standin on tha pedistal, you want the life unless you aint a playa at heart.

Touche. I am not a fake person unless I am annoyed by someone. I try not to get annoyed but sometimes it's time for you "Mr Customer" to stop talking. How I act at work is professional when there are customers in the store and it's time to be professional. Do you think that the successful company "Google" is super professional? Would you work there? I know that's...

right, you all seein the light. Stop hatin and start embracin.

hellz yes muh nug

To many Bizzles in tha Hizzle fo Shizzle my Nizzle.

Ok I can't believe people are actually reading you, and first of all, are taking you serious, lol...secondly I am glad "you are pimpin", because heaven forbid we actually treat the opposite sex with the respect they deserve. I am assuming everyone here has or had a mom at some point, but that is beside the point because "running yo game" is more important.


And I said you were fake if you talked professional at work and totally changed your dialect and spoke "ghetto" outside.

Yo dawg, you trippin!! The minute you aint got dough she be out tha door, word. respect em? You pay if you play so don't get attached so ya don't get blasted in tha end playa. down wit dat ho yo.

HAHAHAHA seems like someone has some insecurity issues, not to mention, dates hookers, lol. Its cool K-Fed, I am sure as long as you are slingin that ya-yo, you will have plenty of chicas.

Like I said misconstrued and read ghettosupertroll's response to what you said and then talk to me about casual conversing comapred to ghetto talk.

Street life Dawg, feel the flava and don't be a hayta

I will stick with my upper middle class up-bringing haus, lol. Don't worry K-Fed, you will come around, and you will find that in order to get a real job, you will have to show some propriety. But that is assuming your goal in life is not to be a drug dealer, or ignorant lol.
