      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’m pretty sure Google does record way more than they should on my phone. But they aren’t my employer, nor would they stop doing that if it were my private phone.

              My employer is not affiliated with Google, so they don’t have any special access, I guess. Just reading my work emails on my phone, using it for 2FA, to chat with colleagues or as a plain old telephone doesn’t give them any private information about me.

              I see however, that that would be different for people who work at shitholes like Amazon or some food delivery company. Their mobiles are used to track them during work hours, so there’s no reason to believe they wouldn’t track them after work as well.

      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
