...Matt, my boyfriend, is that bad? Its a slighttt emergency, and his cell phone is broken, it wouldnt be for very long. would he get in trouble? i see people working talking to people they know on the phone all the time
Its fine, unless he asks you not to do it. I wouldn't say he's my boyfriend though. When you don't know how something could be taken, say as little as possible.
You should never call anyone on their job unless it is a true dire emergency. Even though you see others on the phone all the time do not let that reflect on the performance of your boyfriend, You also do not know how serious your boyfriends supervisor is about employees taking phone calls. Most places of employment only allow phone calls in dire emergencies. If you call more than a couple of times there is a chance he will get written up, or perhaps fired.
Try to take care of all your business before he goes to work and then you will just have to wait until he gets a new cell phone or until he gets home from work.
Peace, Love & Happiness
I don't think theres anything wrong with it. Every place I've worked at there hasn't been a problem with it. As long as you don't call just to chit chat.
