The default wording for each event is very similar.
Occupation:
He worked as a mailman.
Employment:
He was employed as a mailman.
You can change the wording, and set your own default.
Employment:
[HeShe] was employed by [Desc] ...
This would fit in with everyone's definition of Employment.
And don't forget the married names

You are right about too lazy to spell them out. I think it all started with
