&gt; More politely put, I see no obligation on employers to provide employees with the means to recharge their personal phones :)<p>This is a classic &quot;design a better human&quot; problem - sure, you can try to &#x27;persuade&#x27; people by threatening them with demotions, suspensions and unemployment. And then you can hope that this will work in every single instance. Or ... you can provide a few usb ports in a convenient location, so people use these instead of the usb port in your multi million dollar cockpit to charge their phones. Take your pick.<p>For another example decide if it&#x27;s easier to provide waste bins or to threaten people who litter streets.
