This is true of almost anybody on their first job. They have to learn
that on-the-job behavior is different from off-the-job behavior. Up
to now they have only experienced the latter. That's the point of a
first job.

And we had to make it absolutely clear that doing any of that stuff
while driving county vehicles was grounds for dismissal. The kids
were taken aback when this was discussed - constant yakking and
texting are such normal parts of their lives that it never occurred
to them that they weren't supposed to be doing it while working and
that the county pays them to work, not do idle chatter. (For most
of them, the job with the commission is their first employment
experience.) They are permitted to use the cellphones for
emergencies when away from the vehicles or when the truck radios
are out of range - they are often working in very remote areas of
the county.
