Own phone not on silent
If client co provided a company phone it's switched off the second I leave my desk to go home (I leave it usually in my desk as well)Comment

Phone is on silent and in airplane mode just to be sure.
Silent to stop the noise, airplane mode to preserve the battery a bit, because I don't want to have to wait in the morning for the phone to switch on.Comment
