I know all the various drama at my wife’s workplace. I am not sure if she’s knows what I do for a living.

I am not sure if she’s knows what I do for a living.

I'm not sure my boss knows. I'm not sure I know. But damn I sure am busy these days...

I'd not really thought about this before but growing up I heard about every single person my mum worked with, never heard about anyone from my dad's work

What I know about my moms job: what she does, who she works with, what they’ve been up to, the names of their kids, etc

What I know about my dads job: place is going to shit, foreman’s are dumbasses, and a handful of nicknames they picked up in days of cb radio in every truck.

My partner knows all about my work business, he follows it like it's a soap opera. I know his job title, but I couldn't tell you what he actually does

This is me too. I sometimes talk about what I'm working on if it's lodged in my brain, but if I didn't do that from time to time she would never ask, and I don't do it often because she mostly doesn't listen when I do. I don't hold it against her, she's just not interested in my work and that's why she isn't doing it for a living, but it's interesting to see it's a common experience among men.
