Sum_Guy Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I know, dumbest question ever, right? But is it: 1. E[mploye]R & E[mploye]E or 2. [employ]ER & [employ]EE For 20 years, I had always thought of it as one of the above, but someone else's usage just made realize that the other potential source exists.

david rigby Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Either one works, but my experience has been (2). I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hr for me Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 always been #2 since the early 90s for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 #2 - as those are the letters that differentiate between the two words. But then again, for efficiency sake (and for the same reason), we could just go with "R" and "E"... 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I vote for 2, since often when spoken aloud, they are the stressed syllables.
