The cell phone thing at work is a problem for sure. We tell employees they can't use them except breaks and lunch. Most abuse it and a few comply with no problem. We do accept the fact that things at home do come up and people are going to take calls now and then during work. Now and then we don't get worked up over, but the guy that is texting, or talking several times an hour gets one warning then it's go home time for the day. We build large diameter steel pipe and fittings and not paying attention to what is going on will get you hurt bad or even killed. When people do have to take a call we tell them that they must leave the work area and go stand in the isle so that they are hopefully out of the way. Employees that are constantly caught on the phone eventually get wrote up and sent home for a few days. We understand that they will get a call now and again, but constantly throughout the day is a bit much. If there is something going on that requires them to be on the phone several times a day they just need to go home and take care of it. I had one guy that could not stay off the phone with his wife to save his life. I finally asked him one day what he and his wife talk about at night when he gets home? He asked why I wanted to know and I just said you are on the phone so much during the day there couldn't be much left to talk about at the end of the day. He didn't care for that much, but it's the truth. The comment we get allot is "what if there is an emergency at home and my wife or kids need to get a hold of me"? My answer is "the front office will take the call and someone will come and get you just like they did when your dad was your age". It worked for him, it will work for you. Just back off the phone while on the clock. Oh well. The fight goes on. They are a huge distraction at work and on the road.
