Frickin people....

Got a bunch of "kids" (25-35 year olds) working here that are in another world. Sit around all day with ear-buds in, or earphones on, looking at phones, texting, who knows what else. You can't really talk to them, they usually won't hear you. So there are no conversations going on, no friendships being formed, no camaraderie. It really sucks. If I were the boss I'd have two rules: No ear buds or earphones, and No, you don't use your cell phone when you're supposed to be working!


Company I retired from had to implement that policy and ended up firing a guy 2 weeks later because he thought they were kidding.
