| Cell Phone at Work Does your employer have a policy about using your personal cell phone at work? |
| Yes, we do. It was implemented after a woman constantly was on personal calls on her cell. She even had the gall to tell her manager to hold on until she finished her call!! I'm surprised she didn't get fired. |
| OMG! Isabella, that is so funny. Hahaha, some people! *shakes head* The offices I have worked at generally say business calls are okay only and any personal calls except for emergencies can be done during lunch hour only. I never had a problem with that rule. Makes sense. |
| Cell Phone -> USB Cable [or Bluetooth] -> Computer = zap all the company confidential information to someone outside the premises bypassing any firewalls or internal computer security measures. |
| Any company I have worked with have had no problem with personal calls as long as you didn't abuse the situation. As far as cell phones go no one in our office ever had to use them so there were never any "rules" set up to cover them. However, if someone was using a cell phone constantly I think as an amployer I would have to put a stop to it and as an employee I would be really pissed off hearing the cell phone ring all the time and causing a disturbance. |
| I had the experience of purchasing a airline ticket from Aero Republica at El Darado airport in Bogota. As the first person in line the wait was 25 minutes. The problem seemed to be that there was 2 clerks providing assistance to customers, one waiting for someone that wanted to pay in cash (of which none of the 10+ people behind be wanted to to do) and a handful more that were busy not helping customers. Now whether they were working or on break (ie: goofing off) wasn't clear. The one that finally helped me was wearing a handfree set for her cell phone. Now.. maybe those employees were given a bit too much freedom to do things besides their job. |
| I worked with someone who kept her cell phone on top of her desk. She was constantly getting phone calls on her cell phone and would answer them like it was no big deal. There were so many complaints about this, she was told not to have her phone on in the office. So, she ends up keeping the phone on her desk but puts it on vibrate so she still knew when she got calls. The nerve of some people. |
| My company never had a problem with it. As long as you weren't on the phone all day long. It is so annoying when I go into a store and the cashier is ringing me up and talking on the phone. Where is the manager when you need one? LOL |
| I have had to tell people to get off the phone in my office. When they can't concentrate on what needs to be done at work then either they get off the phone or go home for the day (without pay). Usually I have very little trouble with it after that. |
| Exactly...I hate it when these teens are texting their friends while they're working. They shouldn't be allowed to have their phones on the sales floor. |
| We have a number of people in our company that receive and make cell phone calls as if it is their right. The Boss is totally ticked off and has drafted a memo(not issued yet) that tells people to turn off their phones when they come into the plant and gives warnings for abuses - third warning is "fired and out the door". Does anybody have any written corporate policy dealing with this problem? There must be some reasonable way of dealing with it (but maybe not!) |
