Discretion is the better part of valour, say Vodafone
People of the world, stop talking about personal things in public! A study commissioned by Vodafone has found that over 70% of all workers “talk business on their mobile phones in public, with one-in-five talking about business-critical subjects such as sales leads”. If that wasn’t bad enough, 15% admitted to “openly discussing confidential new products or services whilst travelling”. Think this doesn’t matter? Think again. 26% of the sneaky buggers who responded admitted that they have actually followed up on a lead they received whilst eavesdropping on another person’s public call. What conclusions did Vodafone draw from this study? Individuals should utilise more discrete methods of communicating in public, such as texting, emailing or carrier pigeons. That last one might be a lie.
