There are some enlightened employers who recognize that an employee who gets their job done is doing what's asked of him/her, even if they have their phone streaming sports highlights all day.
OTOH, I knew of an employer who required employees to only use their phones on breaks or lunch. Some employees could literally not stop texting, updating Facester or whatever it was they were doing. After several warnings and careful documentation, they were terminated. So, I think people are all over the place on this. Of course, it depends on your job, too. If you're just supposed to answer the phone when it rings, it's probably more okay than if you're supposed to be watching the radar of incoming planes. If you're paid to think, you shouldn't be thinking about your next blog post. OTO,OH, I work out my best algorithms walking the dogs... As usual, the optimum is likely somewhere in the middle.
