Recently "the suits" have been looking for ways to get my department in trouble. Busting people for making/taking the occasional personal call, getting after people for taking a minute or two to talk with a co-worker, stuff like that. Yes, there are a couple of people here that actually do go overboard with those things and waste time, but for the most part everybody is good with how they use their time.
Nonetheless, they've decided to come down hard on everybody, and I got caught at the tail end of a phonecall. Something tells me I'll be hearing about it within a day.
That really sucks. I could not/ would not work anywhere like that, no matter how much they paid me. Granted I understand how some people might abuse, but family comes first.
How can they tell who you are talking too? You don't blow kisses into the phone do you? I used to, but the guys really let me have it..
