So I have always been used to having my mobile on me work, this is because I have worked for myself for years, worked agency doing promo work which means I have no boss, and recently worked in a pretty laid back office that didn't mind.
Well my new job is in a prison so phones are a definite no no infact taking a mobile into a prison can land you 4 years in prison so it is obviously not worth it.
I am so paranoid now that I will somehow forget I have it on me or something silly like that, even once I am in my office every few hours I have a panic moment of OMG do I have my phone, even though I don't even take my bag in just my food.
It is strange not having my phone I do occasionally go to check it and then remember but I am sure I will get used to it.
Are you allowed your mobile in work ?

It is surprising how loose some employers are about this. We often see people using their personal phones at work.

I would only ever use it on break but my boss would be fine if someone rang me and I needed to take the phone call. I think the fact that we were all sensible and it was a small office. No one took advantage so we could keep them on us x

I have worked in many places that forbid them but the bosses usually have theirs out in front of everyone

You must be more concerned as to what if it is really there with the prospect of getting behind bars for 4 years!!!
