Why do you need news at work?
Do your job.
Gramps are you becoming a old crabby stick in the mud..? You are too young for that.
It takes a few minutes to do a search on Twitter..or put that # in front of what you want to search and everything pops up instead of weeding through everything..
Social Media has always had trolls, but most people are good people..
.
Stick in the mud? I flip out when I see my guys on their phones while they are on my dime. Lost productivity adds up dear.
If you are at work get the **** off the phone.
You consider that grumpy I consider it appropriate.
Also of note I believe as a society we have become obsessed with being "connected" to everything except the things that matter.
On their lunch break? Of course not while working.
If I saw anyone including medical people constantly on the phone I would be the first to complain, and ask for someone who is paying attention.
... I stop next to dumb asses texting in their car while driving and give them a Not OK sign..
Now.. people only have a minute or 2 to do a search so the # comes in handy...
