Why not? My company pays for my work phone and the mobile plan. Why should I buy, carry around and pay the plan for a second phone?
My company is reasonable when it comes to contacting me, though. When I’m not at work they won’t contact me. If that wasn’t the case, I could see the need for separate devices.
WDYM? My employer doesn’t have any right to access my private data, no matter what device I use. Nor do they have the ability (as there’s no MDM active on mytheir device). I live in a country where employees actually have rights. That includes the right to privacy from the employer.
i feel like this is less secure than you think but if it’s outside the US I have no facts to base this on beyond knowing there are only so many phone makers and every one of them was caught recording way more than they should
I don’t do it btw but we install apps differently if they are for work or not. We can switch on and off work apps so we are not necessarily accessible when we use the phone
Work culture in around the world is fucked. We all know we’re essentially pushing a rock from one side of the room to the other, all so some guy can have multiple homes and a private sexual abuse island. That Guys best friend also gets to be president, while I have to make a schedule to show my bosses work is being done… Like what? Can’t I just do the work and you verify with your own two eyes? No, if it’s not on the schedule that some middle manager only sees but never verifies if it got done, it’s the same as not doing it.
Yup. At my job it’s fairly common for annoying “urgent” requests to come in late afternoon on Fridays. Often from some of the upper management folks who do very little work. They finally realize “whoops, the weekend is almost here!” They suddenly want to check a box somewhere to make it look like they actually did something this week. And, of course, the requests are always a hand-off to someone in my department to do the actual work (which the requestor will take full credit for after we close the ticket).
The peace button, care of the ‘Island’ app.
That’s if you happen to have work apps on your private phone to begin with.
We can have private apps on our work phone
why would you do that?

because they have a legal argument for your data

it’s not that it’s that they can make arguments to access your data
True, I don’t know if they do. I only use it as a hotspot and then use my private phone
even as a hot spot consider a vpn
sad we have to be this paranoid
Eh, I have a completely separate login on my phone for work crap.
Either I don’t have that in my phone or I’m stupid and can’t find it. Probably the latter. Whatever the case is, I need this
Not all Android phones support it. I used “Island” to enable it on mine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island&hl=en_AU
I keep the work WhatsApp, Email and Facebook Messenger in it.
Huh, I’ve had work profile enabled for ~1.5 years and have never noticed this notification toggle. Thanks!

Interviews are two way. Prioritise finding a good boss, it really helps when it turns out the wider work environment is shit
For reals, though
