Texting at work is a new epidemic that is sweeping the nation, one that several people are losing their jobs over. As a self professed texting addict, I can relate to how important it is to text all of your friends about the hideous outfit your boss is wearing today, but I don’t. Why you may ask? Well, it is simple, I really like my job, and I want to keep it.
Back in the day, the biggest complaint that I would hear from employers was that employees were using their cell phone during business hours. Over the past year or so, the cell phone use has become primarily via text messaging. However, I am not really sure why people think this is more appropriate, it’s not. You are still using your cell phone at work, which is inappropriate and unacceptable.
Take my advice if you want to keep your job, leave the cell phone in the car during business hours. There will be plenty of time to catch up on your lunch break. Remember you need your job to keep the texting bill paid. 🙂
