I understand that you've been living here for 15 years, and I appreciate your connection to the city. However, as your boss, it's my responsibility to ensure that company policies are followed for the smooth functioning of our workplace. The rule about not using cell phones on the job is in place to maintain productivity, safety, and customer service.
Using cell phones during work hours can be distracting and might impact the quality of your work or even pose safety risks in certain job roles. I expect all employees, including you, to adhere to this policy to maintain a professional and efficient work environment.
If there are any concerns or difficulties related to the policy, I'm open to discussing them and finding potential solutions. However, until then, I kindly ask that you respect the rules and refrain from using your cell phone during work hours. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated and will contribute to the overall success of our team.
