[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a millennial and it’s 100% okay and I do it and I expect others to do it too. It’s called multitasking. Sorry boomers you can’t deal. [/quote]

Is this satire?[/quote]

I’m the poster - no, it’s not. I’m a manager and truly don’t care, truly. Our unit is excelling and it’s not bc we’re texting or not texting in meetings. [/quote]

What do you do? Social media PR?  What does excelling mean…[/quote]

DP.  I’m a physician.  People are always checking texts, PerfectServe, and answering pages or phone calls during meetings.  I mean, even during a family meeting discussing end of life care, I would still take a few seconds to look at a PerfectServe message.  In the OR, someone who isn’t sterile will read messages out loud, including personal messages from a traveling teen.

I have to agree that this seems like a power trip on the part of the boss.  What’s going on in these meetings that requires 100% focus from all participants?
