re: Your office ban cell phones? I've never worked anywhere that did but it might be needed.

I'd venture to say that 65% of the value I provide to my company has something to do with me talking on my cell phone. Banning them would cut my impact to the bottom line by 65%

So, no, we will not be banning cell phones. If we had such a problem, we'd fire the people who were a problem.

Any time i walk around the office, to the break room, to the bathroom, going to a meeting, actually IN a meeting...the majority of people in the office are on their phones. And it's not for work...they are shopping, texting, on social media.

And InB4 "YoU'Re On SoCiAl MeDiA nOw"


then the question becomes....are you paying me for my work and knowledge or are you paying me for my time?

Personally I am paid for my work and my knowledge. If my work is done, so who gives a frick?

and you say this but yet worker productivity increased by ~60% from 1980 to present.....so if worker productivity is going up....why the frick are you complaining? do you think buying power in terms of real wages went up 60% over that same time period? the answer is frick no.

My cell phone is required at work. We have dual authentication required for logging-in to most programs used at work.
