Is it okay to listen in on my co-workers´ phone conversations?
Interoffice Phone Manners
Many offices use an open workspace design incorporating cubicles and other shared and easy-access work areas. Be sure to respect the space of your co-workers when it comes to their telephone use. Don't listen in on coworkers' phone conversations. If you share office space with someone, this may be unavoidable, but try to keep busy while the person is talking —and never comment on what you've just overheard!
