Are you allowed to have a radio or music in your work area?

[Iraklis F.C.]

So are you allowed to have music in the office or wherever your work area is?

 

[Rich_L]

Yep, though don't have it on today for some reason!

Usually have it on Five Live if any sport is on but otherwise usually Radio 1, sometimes Kiss Fm/Magic Fm but as little 'local' radio as possibly as that's pants.

 

[Kerplunk]

Yes but very, very, low.

So low you cant hear it.

 

[ajgoodfellow]

Yes

You're also allowed to listen to your iPod etc too

I personally don't as I find it very distracting

 

[Kelv]

Yup, we're in a portacabin on our own (miles away from our bosses ), so tend to either have the radio up loud, or one of us usually plays music on our PC's/iPod's etc through speakers...



Kelv.

 

[Noxis]

I am usually chillin to some ch3wnz innit.

Has to be on headphones tho.

 

[Iraklis F.C.]

my boss ( female ) is going nuts with music , she hates it and i found it today when i had winamp radio really low - she went nuts. It gets really boring here sometimes and i am bored to death , gee i think i dont have a chance to have a bloody radio

 

[Spacky]

Yep, got "The Go Team" playing

A door and an office help though.

 

[Sic]

i really wish i was allowed music on at work. just headphones would do. sadly, i'm not. will someone write to my boss and get this sorted please?

 

[Cookie-Monster]

yup, got my own stereo in my room, and a telly next to my desk which is largely a hangover from the ashes, but will come in for the world cup finals.

 

[Haly]

Yup.
One branch we have a DAB radio, usually on Radio 1, Planet Rock or Real Radio, changes through the day sometimes.
Other branch we have CDs that work send us that's usually the latest songs with advertising thrown in. Sometimes we stick an ipod on.

 

[Bes]

Yep, I have it as loud as I please (can have the telly on too), roll in whenever I want, leave whenever I please, oh and I don't even have to get dressed for it.


I work from home

 

[Sequoia]

So are you allowed to have music in the office or wherever your work area is?

Is music allowed? No.

Why not? The boss said so.

Would I be allowed? Who's going to tell me I can't?

Who's the boss? Well, ...... guess.

 

[DJammyRasta]

gotta love pc's with front loading usb and soundcard ports... have my usb stick and headphones plugged into my pc pretty much all day at work

 

[Ukadder]

We have the radio on in the warehouse, Sales office are not allowed it on as they awnser all the calls etc. I'm in the "Quiet" office with the MDs, have though about bringing in my iPod a few times and when no one else is in my office I have the radio on over my computer. As I'm in the corner headphones would probibly be fine. Bosses are a little strange though and might not like it so I'm yet to try.


Watch this space!

 

[Nathan]

Is radio allowed in my office? No.

Why? It was found radio was effecting quality in production so stopped it in the factory, if production are not allowed it, we are not either.

 

[penski]

If I'm in uber-Excel-dude mode or similar then I throw my cans on and work away. If I'm making calls, I leave them off.
