Can an employer ban employees from bringing in smart phones to work place ? Because it kills productivity ! People are on #nostr all day long :-)

The good ones provide the smart phones ;)
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.
Will be jurisdiction dependent but generally yes, provided you have good reason (e.g. data security/hygiene)…
