Should Employees Use Mobile Devices and Computers at Work?

In modern times employees rarely take note to the rules prohibiting portable devices in the work place so in some cases you will find that employees make personal phone calls or even answer calls during work time which should not be allowed in office hours in some cases they even connect their personal computers to the office network which uses up the companies bandwidth. Companies loose a lot of money because of employees who spend more time on their portable devices then actually doing work. Should all portable devices be prohibited from the workplace? Because I've heard of people who connect their portable devices to the companies network and they actually steal the companies confidential files in order to sell it to the companies rivals which is actually very bad for business and can actually cause the company to loose money or even worse close down.

  2. I know on some rare occassions, people have used their personal electronic devices to bring about the downfall of their companies- whether intentionally or otherwise but people need to understand that even when we are in the workplace, we are still people with lives and responsibilities and many things going on which need to be tended to. My life does not stop because I am at work, it goes on and there are things I constantly need to take care of, which I can do by usimg my mobile phone, making the occassional personal call or sending the occassional personal email. So, yes I think employees should be allowed, without question to use mobile devices at work.
