Office or Classroom?
This person showed up at an office for an interview and experienced a red flag before the introductions even began! When they checked in at the front desk, they were required to place their phone in a bucket because no phones were allowed in the back. Is this an office full of adults, or is this a 6th-grade classroom?!
We get that cellphone use at work can reduce productivity, but this is not the way to address the issue. Treating employees and people off the street like children is demeaning and definitely does not improve productivity. Who wants to work for a place that micromanages like this? Not us!
