That exactly was my point ☝️ .. when it is proven fact smart phones are the biggest source of distractions, why would (good) employers encourage ( or even pay for ) smart phones .. world is so full of anomolies :-)

At a certain level, the best employees won’t work for an employer who doesn’t pay for their phone bill or provide a phone- especially if it’s needed for work. Sure, it’s a potential distraction- but you hire good people who do good work and trust them to manage their own distractions. Otherwise, you’re in a race to the bottom trying to fend off distractions for people who will find ways to distract themselves no matter what you do.
