We're all super-reliant on our mobile phones these days.
But while it's now commonplace to see people on the street using theirs on the hoof, turning to your phone when bored at work (come on, we all do it) could land you in trouble.
An idle scroll through Facebook or Instagram , or texting your mates during that post-lunch lull could result in your phone being confiscated, as companies start to clamp down on mobile usage, RSVPLive reported.
In fact, one company director revealed he refused to take on staff who would not hand in their devices when in the office.
Sounds a bit extreme, but Mr O'Shaugnessy says he had his reasons.
It was after seeing how staff members were completely addicted to using social media on their phones that he implemented the policy.
Mr O’Shaughnessy told The Times: "We've had girls have complete meltdowns when they've come to work and been told they need to put their phone in a box."
"Others have said it’s almost breaching their human rights. It's almost like a separation anxiety.
"When we didn't have this policy in place people would be checking social media updates during staff meetings. They're utterly addicted to their phones."
