When your family inevitably asks you about work during the holidays, what do you tell them when they ask what you do?


Working in software sales, I always struggle to get the older folks in my family walking away satisfied with my answer ๐Ÿ˜…

If they are of a certain age, it's the best haha, if they didn't start the 3-hour questions so that in the end they don't understand and out of pity they don't ask you anymore

I move in close, look around nervously, lower my voice and say: "I'm really not allowed to say." Then shrug my shoulders and walk away.

I'm just a salesman with a free schedule, perhaps also you can add that working in holidays gets me double paid or more commission.
If they were young enough you could even add that I'm just trying to work harder all the time to get you more toys or maybe PS5, Lol!

Iโ€™m in tech sales. But my family is full of geeks, so we can actually chat about it. Usually weโ€™re talking about other things though, plus my BIL works for the larch tech company I left last year, so we usually talk other things.
