our sort manager recently had multiple signs hung up saying there is no cell phone or ipod use allowed, period. it used to be that you just couldn't be ****ing around on your phone during a shift, which is completely understandable. but i guess some people ( a lot of people) had a hard time getting that, so now there's dudes hiding phones in their damn pants. personally, i have my phone available all day except for the twilight sort, why the hell is it that essential for me to have it for the 4-5 hours during the shift, which everyone i know, knows i'm working?
