Ding ding ding. It's not my problem if you hire people who can't act like adults. I should not be treated like a child because of them.Agreed. My self worth is too high to be treated like that 40+ hours a week.

As an employer I often consider implementation of just such a policy, we had an employee who became very unpopular with customers due to using headphones while at work and barely talking to them. Not ideal in a bar as small talk with the bar staff is a important part of customer interaction.
I'm considering creating a file where phones must be turned off and placed in the office upon starting a shift, they can be retrieved at shift's end.
Also if you're serious about job hunting because of this, you should think about your priorities.
I hate companies that treat their employees like children.
Trust them to do their job. Don't take away phones or limit internet access. Will some slack off? Sure. Judge everyone on their work output. If an employee gets their job done and does it well, who cares if they browse the internet here and there? Conversely, why do you want an employee who sucks but is always on task?
I don't get it.
I work in an office. Two coworkers got into an arguing. It came out that one of them always slacks off. So now when we get into wotk, we check our phones in and then check them out when we leave.
Is it odd that I'm considering job hunting over this?
Your bar sounds like a pleasant place that I'd like to visit. Whereabouts?
Why does the one colleague care about the other one slacking?
If he is doing his job who cares if he is slacking or taking a long break. Just do your own job.
One of my college teachers had a mom who was incredibly ill. During his time, cellphones weren't present, so while he was out of the house, they kept calling and calling so he can spend some final moments with her.
He didn't get back until later that night, and she had already passed away.
When I got in a car accident, one of the people at the scene was able to call my parents before being taken to the hospital and put on a bunch of drugs. Had they not done so, my parents wouldn't have known where I was for a whole day.
People underestimate the usage of cell phones, and trying to ban them is like putting a tiny band aid on a bigger problem.
I never got this myself. There is a tattletail in our office too who concerns himself with what time people are coming and leaving and complains to the mgr. Do your own fucking job. Cripes.
Entitlement of the younger generation is running unchecked.

I'm old and think policies like this are bullshit. Trust your people to do the right thing and deal with the ones that don't individually and directly.
The making of sweeping generalizations by the old generation is running unchecked.
Can we please get a LTTP thread started before you implement this policy so we can be updated as you see the reactions to this?
If you're willing to treat your employees like children or assumed slackers, you should think about how you treat your employees.
Bonuses are competitive based on individual performance. If got are the top ranked employee for the month, you get a five hundred dollar bonus

Somehow we as a society managed this for decades prior to everyone having cell phones.
Not at all, people working in a bar should be focused on the customers, not their phones. You sound like a shitty employee if you think it's ok to stand on your phone whilst working in a bar.
Fuck that. This is a classic case of bad management. Lack of drive and motivation is not a case of too many distractions, it's an indication that you need to give your staff varied and interesting work. I would be out of there in a heartbeat
And then we invented modern conveniences. My company doesn't even have office phones. We're 100% a cell phone operated company. I don't even have a house phone!
Halarious. When I was going through middle and highschool during early 2000s, phones wern't aloud in schools, but now they don't care. And what happens now? Work places banning phones.
I don't think it's that wild to expect to be treated like an adult at your job. If you're happy with the bridle in your mouth, so be it, but there's no way I'm living like that.Because work should be an adult kindergarten where the little darlings should not be bored while they are being paid. The very nature of some jobs is monotony that's why the job exists at all , pay someone else to do it.
Is my first career job. I find the company for the most part enjoyable. But with this, there is a pride issue. Fuck this. Updating my linkedin

Not odd. Unless you work somewhere where confidential data is handled (government, finance, etc) then no company has the right to insist you check in your phone before each shift. I'd bail hard, man.I work in an office. Two coworkers got into an arguing. It came out that one of them always slacks off. So now when we get into wotk, we check our phones in and then check them out when we leave.
