workplace etiquette
I heard on radio yesterday that people hate mobile phones in the workplace that have unusual ring tones. I have found myself left humming a ring tone after a colleague's phone has rung. Should mobiles be banned in the office? Or placed on silent ring? Which then brings up the issue of vibrating mobile phones on desks. But we wont go there. Maybe we should just co-ordinate so that everyone has the same Eminem song as a ring tone.
Also mentioned on radio was the new trend in offices for a clean desk policy. I am guilty of a messy desk, but it is my organised chaos, I know where everything is. But to the outsider it looks like I am lazy. Do we really think that a clean desk means employee's are working harder, or are they just spending time tidying the desk? Next we will be seeing KPI's that include a tidy desk!

Hey!! queiter would be nice but i dont think with an office that normally has telephones ringing all day, would make a differance if one or two mobiles start ringing.. differant ringing tones are good as i remember the days when the phones all had the same type of ring tones and it was hard to discover whos phone it was and you would have 6 people diving for the bag or desk to see if it was theirs.. now you know whoms phone it is by the tone, and usually everyone would yell out..
