[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I always have my phone with me at meetings.  My colleagues all know that I am the first line of defense for my kids, if something happens at school or daycare.  I have to be available to take a call b/c my DH is in a job where he is not reachable.

If I'm in a meeting with clients or others, I usually quickly explain why I have my phone out.

That is incredibly rude and self-centered.  We all have major obligations.  The vast majority of us are the "first line of defense" for our kids.  If someone explained to me that was the reason their phone was out -- I would laugh at them.

Being on your phone during a meeting is rude and generational.  It doesn't make it right.[/quote]

I'm a senior manager and "first line of defense" for my kid as well. I would never bring out my phone in a meeting, it's in my pocket or next to me on vibrate. I would probably reflect it in your review if you were constantly on your phone in a meeting.
