Can you hear me now?

I never understood the reason for the speaker phone. I could understand the usage of it in your home when you are 3 rooms away and yell. Well maybe not because you wouldn’t even need to do that now that they invented the cordless phone 15 years ago. I could understand it in a business situation where there is a room full of people on a conference call. Now that makes sense.

The reason of the speakerphone: you’re in your office all alone with only all of your co-workers surrounding you on the outside with the door wide open and the volume turned all the way up. Can you hear me? It is not that painful of an action to reach two feet in front of you, pick up the 2 oz receiver, and have your conversation. Are you trying to prove you have nothing to hide and that everyone needs to know your business?

Please refrain from letting us know where to meet you for dinner……
