A new policy was implemented was at my workplace where no personal phones would be allowed during work hours(on silent and out of sight) and I made sure to follow the rules
Turned off my phone, locked it in my locker before every shift, and went about my day .
And this continued till a few days later, my manager pulled me aside, annoyed asf and asked why I didn’t answerher call said she needed to check something urgently with me.
I just told her I was following the phone policy. My phone had been away like we were told.
She didn’t like that response. Tried to say I should have used “judgment” and answered if it was from her.
But I wasn’t about to get written off for breaking a policy she just finished enforcing .
Funny thing is, after that, the “no phones” policy suddenly got very quiet. No more lectures. No more reminders. Pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who let a few of her calls go to voicemail that week.
