Be Polite While Staying Connected



Moderation is key to keeping peace in the digitally connected world. Tom Musbach, managing editor of Yahoo! HotJobs, offers tips from for keeping your wireless device habits within the bounds of politeness:
  • Watch that ringtone: Keep your device on vibrate to avoid interrupting others near your workspace.
  • Get a room: Take personal and any other conversations that might make your coworkers uncomfortable into a conference room or other closed off area to avoid being overheard. Only answer absolutely necessary calls when in close quarters.
  • Make callers wait: Don't interrupt business meetings or dinners with calls or emails unless it is an emergency.
  • Put it in writing: Use text messaging and emailing when possible – it's less intrusive.
  • Keep it short: Let the person you are communicating with know that you are on a wireless device and that the conversation must be kept brief.
  • Follow the rules: Some buildings don't allow wireless device use. Adhere to the signs and be respectful of the surrounding environment.
