I think it's rather rude to be texting while on the job. Especially if you're in a business meeting. There should definitely be text-etiquette rules put into place to cut down on all the unnecessary madness that comes along with too much texting. Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

Couldn't agree more..but how many people do it... even managers/leaders are guilty. People's time is valuable..at all levels..if your going to have a meeting at least mutually respect their time.

I always had a rule that everyone had to turn their phones off and put them away. Have an agenda sent prior to the meeting so everyone could come prepared to add value.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It is good to know that I am not alone in this view. Great article!

Couldn't agree more...there is using these valuable resources to be more productive..but far too often it crosses the line into rude or reduced productivity because you don't engage individuals in front of you. Appreciate the feedback!

It's becoming far too common for people to be glued to their devices. I bump into people on the street, when I'm at a conference, I think it is straight up rude for anyone to be on their device. My, my, how the world has changed. Thanks for sharing this post.
