Phone Gate: The Ultimate Guide to Not Violating Phone Etiquette in Meetings

Warning: Phone Gate is a serious matter.

You're not even supposed to be here. You should be in a meeting, not on your phone. But, since you're already here, let's review the rules:

• Don't even think about taking a call on speakerphone.
• No texting during the meeting. It's not a Tinder date.
• Keep your phone on silent. Vibrate, not ring, not buzz.
• Don't use your phone as a makeshift microphone stand. It's not a prop.

Violations will be punished.

First Offense: Verbal Warning

Second Offense: Written Warning and a Side Eye from the Meeting Chair

Third Offense: Ban from all future meetings involving free donuts and coffee.
