It really bugs me that I get nailed for using my phone during work. I don't make calls, I don't text, and hell I don't hardly ever play games. I use it to check news articles and related things or to read books. Yet they don't get onto the people reading books or newspapers, they let people do puzzles and searches they print out, and they let people draw. How is any of that different for me using my phone? In this era of technology why is it not acceptable to do equivalent things on my phone? I have tested this time and time again, I perform better when I am using my phone between my work calls (which are automated). I know it may be "policy" but really can that not be changed? I do see the other end to this. I know I am working on my employers time, but it seems silly to disallow something that pretty much keeps me sane during the monotony. Seeing as the do nothing to really promote morale. Occasional they do trivia sheets, which are utter bullshit, because if the answer they have is easily disputed they don't care, if it is not on there answer key, then it is wrong. A good example of this was the question: "What movie shares it's name with the main character?". Seriously, could you be more vague? I put down no less than 8 applicable answers, and a few that could also apply, but I was wrong because I didn't have the exact thing on their answer key. You have a computer in front of you, look that shit up.
