Tring Tring...

What do you do when a person sitting next to you in your cubicle (which is by the way really really small) talks personal things over the phone.. You

1. Listen to it cos it is interesting
2. You politely tell them that they are loud
3. You tell your manager about this person's talks
4. You put on your headphones and turn the music on..

Seriously, people these days have forgotten all about telephone etiquettes. Phones especially in the office are being used for personal talks and people care less to say sweet things to their sweetheart not caring who is around...I dun say that its wrong, but when u have to do it, why not talk over a mobile in a private place and say all those mushy stuff to him/her..why should the person next to you hear to whats going on between you and your sweetheart..???


Some people have this habit of speaking with the speaker on.. Honestly, if you are sitting in a cubicle where there is hardly any room to move, is this kind of talk allowed? Isnt it common sense to take some pain and hold the receiver to make sure that you arent disturbing the other person who is working....???

Its time to learn and be considerate to the one next to you..Noone needs to know what you had for dinner or where you are planning your honeymoon..

Its your personal stuff..Make sure it stays personal.

Facing a similar issue over the past 2 months...the team sitting next to my team speaks loudly always..and have meetings over speaker phones..I gave them a couple of weeks buffer time, but nothing changed..so me being me, I went and told them to speak softly..bcos I cant do my work w/o having the headset on.. ;)
