Too bad Fuld didn't spend every second of his life playing BrickBreaker, Lehman would still be alive and well --- On Thu, 4/30/09, Kedar Desai <kedar.desai@gmail.com> wrote: From: Kedar Desai <kedar.desai@gmail.com> Subject: Wells Fargo Blackberry rules To: Date: Thursday, April 30, 2009, 8:31 AM Among the new rules, and what I view as the most important, is that you aren't allowed to look down at your blackberry during a meeting. If you do look down, you have to write a check for $100 to the charity of the meeting manager's choice. You are allowed a 5 minute productivity break where you are either allowed to check your blackberry, or go to the bathroom. One break per meeting. It is yet to be determined whether or not you are allowed to check your blackberry while going to the bathroom, so long as it fits in the allotted time   ================   When Richard Fuld, chief executive of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., couldn't control his addiction, he took drastic measures. In October, he had the game BrickBreaker taken off his BlackBerry. "I was playing so much," says Mr. Fuld, who had used it to relax on the plane or in the car. He missed it so much he had it reinstalled, but it's no longer on the main menu. That removes the temptation, he says, "for the most part."
