Mobile phones

Managers aren't interested.
They prefer we use our own mobiles.
In fact, I've been threatened with disciplinary action for refusing to do so.

Well let them call you on your mobile and you use the PDA anytime you need to call them

No.
My mobile isn't for business use. I don't and won't answer it if it's them.
And we haven't been trained to use PDA's to call them, nor do we (or probably the managers for that matter) even know the office code.

then you werent actually properly trained how to use the pda then, the six digit office code is the one underneath your name on the login screen

No I wasn't. But that's not my problem.
It's a get out clause.

If a manager rings my phone I just wouldn't answer, if its anything that important they can talk to me in person!
