You can look but it is advisable to be discreet . Use your common sense.

Every single call I recieve goes to voicemail unless I know who's calling and REALLY want to speak to them NOW. In that case, I will say hang on and step out of the office. But I dont overdo that.

Most times I wait until lunch/end of day to call back or occasionally will find somewhere quiet.

Sorry speaking with agents in the office in earshot is a sure fire way to pee off permies, managers the whole lot.

It's all about context. Big office, far from managers, one permie; don't care about pissing him off. But yes, tact is important, I'll acknowledge that.

At last. He's listening to the 50+ years of experience that made the opposite point.

Permie managers listen to their reports and will take what they say over what you say. You realise that don't you?

Who is that permie friends' with or sleeping with?

Work that out before pissing him off.

Hahaha. I've never understood people who get all worked up about other people's business, whether it's marking their comings and goings or whatever. My job doesn't really have anything to do with them, so they have no cause to feel anything about what I get up to. There are many reasons why people could have funny hours or be taking phone calls, just get on with your own work, says I!

You don't have to understand it. You just have to appreciate it happens and act accordingly. Common sense would indicate this as well.
Bearing in mind you are the only person in this thread with this stance and everyone else has given the opposite same advice would it not be wise to listen and think about it rather than just dig your heels in? Doesn't make you look very good at all.
