I know Lemmy is gonna say “stop being addicted to your phone” but like I’m asking this question with more of a like “fuck corporate” attitude. I mean like, just a quick peak at an internet thread, wikipedia, news, memes, etc. Maybe messages or group chats… Just an occasion glance every like 15 minutes or so to keep yourself sane, like a little drip of dopamine to get you through the day, you know.
Or is a smartwatch hidden under long sleeves better?
Or like… is text to voice better? (Like with a hidden earbud hidden under some wigs to listen to the text, while the other ear can still can have awareness of surroundings?)
It’s not the easiest way but it works for me…

Retail store manager. Personal devices and headphones are a fireable offense. I allow my team cellphones as long as they get their job done. I have a single headphone with podcasts playing every moment I’m not on a conference call.
When my boss brought it up I just stared at him blankly and said “when I took over this store it was failing. Now it’s third in the district and rising” then stared blankly at him again.
He eventually stopped mentioning it.
I’m working on that now. When I started, they made me one of five admins on their scheduling software. The other four have since left the organization, and I’m not going out of my way to teach the users any more than they absolutely need. 😂
