Not harsh. Realistic. Being a working adult means you don't get to choose the rules. Working for a company means you WORK while you are on the clock. She said they would be allowed the cell phones while on break, or after work.
It sounds supremely whiney and like the entitlement generation that she says how they all goof off and are irresponsible, then wants a cell phone allowed so she can do MORE of the goofing off.
Why should any boss allow you to sit on your duff and do no productive work? Oh wait.. it's only XX amount of time that they won't be working.
Maybe if more people worked for the company, instead of trying to do the bare minimum to get a paycheck, this country would be known for better work ethics. It appears to me that there's not a lot of work ethics around anymore.
"Will it get me fired?" is not the way to decide what to do. Whining about a CELL PHONE is not a moral decision. It's a work rule. The boss is not unreasonable to wish the WORKERS to WORK. That's why he pays them. Why not whine that you are not allowed to have your XBox at your desk, so you could just spend all day playing video games.. instead of HAVING to surf the net, and talk via IM all day while collecting a paycheck?
Entitlement always makes me crazy. Can you tell?
