Is the promotion making u more than MS? :D
well i guess for me, spending time on ddf is time that could be spent studying, and spending time studying is directly correlated with raises.
but this isnt about me

Get a good rav and find decide for yourself what is allowed and what's not allowed. And if someone else holds differently than you, doesn't mean they are wrong. They just have a different standards rav.
FTFY  :)

that only works for the next time
gotta stay with the answer regarding that question
so maybe you need to test the waters a bit, ask a light question, weigh the answer, before going all in

yes...for ppl who run their own businesses
i think its completely foolish and irresponsible if you have your own business, which is as successful as the time you put into it, if you spend your day on ddf
however, if you work a desk job where you have a set salary, and you can get the necessary work done even with sprinkling in some ddf, then why not
-1
promotions can happen, but for many respectable jobs out there, you have what you need to do and there arent always opportunities to go above and beyond. when those present themselves, i would hope you could lay off ddf for the time being
but for a typical day, you can spend time on ddf without any harm done
that cant be said if you own and run your own business
That is a terrible perspective. You can't get "stuck" in a dead-end job unless you allow yourself to.  Sure, Shmelly's example is more concrete because he actually has his own business, but it applies to everyone.  For anyone who spends time on DDF because they can get done everything that's required of them and have time left over should, instead of spending that time here, go out for a walk and think about how you can get to the next step in your career.  For some, it could be starting a business, for others, getting a promotion at their current job.  If a promotion is not on the table, think about how you can use your skill set in a more profitable way.  There's always a way out, and sometimes it just requires some (or much) thought to think of ways to make your situation better, and to instill in yourself the courage to pursue them. Take your life off of auto-pilot.
If you don't care why would you comment?

good find
his drawing the line is also a big halachic line, which would affect many of us (unless CM found a better rav ;))

Studying Torah is directly correlated with raises!

The way I came across, you are right
But I stand behind my point. There is a difference Between someone at work ddfing and someone running his own business and ddfing
