1:07:42 PM Justice: Bad stuff about company X?
1:07:45 PM Princess Pink Shirt: yes
1:07:51 PM Princess Pink Shirt: sweatshop.
1:07:53 PM Justice: Yeah, someone mentioned they were a bit of a grinder
1:08:16 PM Princess Pink Shirt: stingy with the compensation, herculean effort expected.
1:08:39 PM Justice: Ouch!
1:08:44 PM Justice: Homey don't play dat!!
1:08:46 PM Justice: That's what I say to that
1:09:05 PM Princess Pink Shirt: Well, that is for their staff. Contractors always get treated better, right? :)
1:09:16 PM Justice: Of course
1:09:30 PM Justice: Because contractors can say stuff like "homey don't play dat" and keep their street cred
1:09:35 PM Justice: That's what I do here all the time!
1:09:40 PM Justice: And I've still got street cred!!
1:09:41 PM Justice: Right?
1:10:00 PM Justice: You still there?
1:10:30 PM (Princess Pink Shirt has disconnected)

At my company, I'm an employee and could say "Homey don't play 'dat" if I felt it were prudent.
