Business Etiquette Tips for Cell Phone Users in the Workplace. Tip #2: Take Personal Calls in a Private Place
Hearing someone talk loudly on a cell phone, especially about personal business is distracting and discourteous to coworkers trying to do their jobs. It’s best to go to an empty conference room or other private location to make a personal call. Look for a spot where no one can overhear your conversation, even if what you are discussing isn’t personal. Your coworkers may not be on break, and your chatter could interrupt their workflow.
And do keep personal calls to a minimum so that you don’t appear unfocused to your team or your boss.
