Guest rosie Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 We are not allowed to have mobiles with us, they have to be locked away while we work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyro2000 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The trules say no, you cant have your mobile on, yet every single person does have it on. Including the management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaO Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I don't know if it's allowed but it is indeed switched on! On silent, of course. I don't think it would go down too well if the quiet of the office was shattered by 'Get Your Freak On' by Missy Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiesh Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 We are not supposed to have mobiles on at work but the majority of people I know (including myself) do and have them on silent...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentStatic Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Temped at several places where mobiles 'weren't allowed', and people at all of them took them in and (not very discreetly) left 'to go to the toilet' when they were called. Hey, you need to answer in case it's someone offering you a better job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan_61 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 mine's on, how would I be able to arrange other jobs without my mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Surely it depends where you work? I'd be seriously hacked off if the cashier in the supermarket stopped scanning my shopping to take a call, or if I rang my bank and the person in the call centre put me on hold to answer a mobile call In an office - if people didn't abuse the privelege of being able to make and take important calls (nattering to mates for ages) the 'no mobile' rule wouldn't be required. PS - Mine's on 'discrete' in the office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosie Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I work at Boots and for security reasons you cant have anything in your pockets apart from your locker key. If you are caught with phone or money you won`t be working there minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
