[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the first tips I give younger employees is to always bring paper and always write down notes when someone asks. This seems old fashioned to them, but it solves so many problems. I don’t mind people not bringing paper but it’s super annoying when they take notes on their phone. It interrupts the course of conversation and draws their attention more than having paper. Or maybe that’s just my perception but also it doesn’t matter because that’s the perception of most people and meetings are about communication. I also can’t stand when people bring a laptop and stare at it but that battle was long lost as acceptable office etiquette.

This is widely considered obnoxious behavior. Maybe that seems dumb, but we all do things at work for the purpose of following protocol and fostering the feelings of other people. Just bring paper and a pen. It isn’t worth a big confrontation.[/quote]

I have bad handwriting. I always insisted on taking notes by laptop or mobile. Wondering now if this is why some superiors did not like me?[/quote]
