    Listening to voicemails on speaker can potentially expose confidential information to others who may be within hearing range.

    The following are all ideal places for your phone to be while at the workplace EXCEPT:

    • Your coat pocket

    • Your pants pocket

    • Face-Down on your desk

    • In your bag

    Correct Answer
    A. Face-Down on your desk
    Explanation
    Having your phone face-down on your desk is not an ideal place for it to be while at the workplace. This is because having your phone easily visible and accessible on your desk can be distracting and may lead to decreased productivity. It is better to keep your phone in places like your coat pocket, pants pocket, or in your bag where it is not within immediate reach and can be easily ignored while focusing on work tasks.

    2. While attending your office meetings, it’s good to keep from checking your phone because:

    • It shows a lack of interest

    • It shows you're interested in the subject

    • Your phone can be distracting

    • People may not like you for it

    Correct Answer
    A. It shows a lack of interest
    Explanation
    Checking your phone during office meetings shows a lack of interest because it indicates that you are not fully engaged in the discussion or paying attention to what is being said. It can be seen as disrespectful and unprofessional, as it gives the impression that you are not taking the meeting seriously or valuing the time and effort of others. Additionally, constantly looking at your phone can be distracting not only for yourself but also for those around you, disrupting the flow of the meeting and potentially affecting productivity.
