Ryanair has banned its staff from charging their mobile (cell)
phones at work, saying it is an inappropriate use of office time. A
UK newspaper reported that staff were “furious” about the
rule. However, a Ryanair spokeswoman said no-one had “batted
an eyelid” since the rule was introduced about two months ago.
She said the decision to ban the charging of phones was more
related to work ethic than cost-cutting – though “obviously
there is a small saving”. “It's not good for people
to be charging up their phones in work time,” the spokeswoman
said.
