Paleo Banana Bread
After starting the paleo diet, I started craving the exact foods I wasn’t allowed to eat. This is my first...
This is RIDICULOUS.
Yoga teacher Alice Van Ness was fired from her gig at Facebook headquarters after asking one of her students to turn off her phone during class. The student was asked several times to put the phone away (ironically, checking her Facebook), and after class complained to the fitness management team, Plus One. They fired Van Ness two weeks later.
“We are in the business of providing great customer service,” Plus One wrote in the termination notice. “Unless a client requires us to specifically say no to something, we prefer to say yes whenever possible.” Van Ness was also let go from a job at Cisco, allegedly for asking an employee not to photograph a class in progress.
Emergency situations aside, it is incredibly RUDE to answer or be on your phone during class. If you can’t spare the 30-60 minutes away from your cell, you NEED to choose another fitness option. It is disrespectful, rude, distracting and very much a slap in the face to the instructor who has come to teach you and the other students in the class.
Some people are addicted to their phones. I get it. I love mine, and like having it around. But you better believe that if I’m in class, it’s OFF. AWAY. Everyone can leave a message and I’ll get back to them. NOTHING is so important it cannot wait an hour.
If you DO need to take a call (note: NOT update your FB status), do so QUIETLY. With discretion. Leave the room (and don’t start talking until you’re OUTSIDE). Tell people you’re going to be busy for an hour. Whoever might call. Tell them. AND if it’s a habitual thing, consider working out on your own.
Geez.
What do you think? Should she get her job back?

Definitely! I fig, in a class setting, the instructor should have some say. It’s their time & time for others. 1 person shouldn’t ruin it :(

Part of yoga is to get away from the world! It’s rude to check it in any social situation I think, and she was totally within her rights!

ohmeursault answered:
Yes. Checking your phone while doing yoga is so stupid I don’t even have words. This is something you’re doing to connect with yourself.

willrun4chocolate answered:
definitely, if that is the ONLY reason for her being fired

thechicksarepacked answered:
yeah.. she should get her job back along with a huge apology from the person with the phone and camera and the people who fired her.

cat-eye-chic answered:
That is ridiculous! Yoga is supposed to be quiet and peaceful. She should DEFINITELY get her job back!

I wouldn’t want to work for them. They should have backed the instructor up on her decision, not fire her. Bad judgement by the management.:(

Yes. If you want to play on your phone don’t take a fitness CLASS. A class is still a class no matter what the subject.

vulnerate answered:
If I were her, I wouldn’t *want* to work with them again (if they’d offered). She deserves a workplace she’ll be respected.
