Do you dream of checking your emails and messages without having to take your smartphone out of your pocket? Does your boss dislike seeing you strumming all day long on your smartphone? Do you know that there is a solution to control your Android smartphone from a computer discreetly while looking like you are working..
Personal phone at work
Who has never used their mobile at work to watch a funny video on YouTube, consult their Facebook page, book a plane ticket, read their SMS or reply to their WhatsApp messages? Almost everyone. Moreover, several studies have shown that each employee devotes on average 1 hour of his working time per day to personal activities.
Be careful all the same to remain reasonable. Using your personal smartphone during office hours is not without its problems. Even if the employer does not have the right to ban employees from using their phones, the fact remains that this practice is not always well received..
If you have the impression that your boss always gives you small unimportant missions, never makes you participate in the decisions or worse avoids you, it is perhaps that you are in his sights. If only for promotional reasons, it might be time to drop your phone a little. Does this seem unimaginable to you?
