They tried that at one of my jobs as well. A bunch of us refused to install it on our personal phones. Management started floating the idea of getting work phones for those people. Came in and asked how many of us would like a work phone instead of installing the app on our phones. They were not prepared for how many of us raised our hands. Never heard anything about it again.
Company before my last provided phones as they were super paranoid about 3rd part software. Righty so as its a huge telecom company. Wasn't a great phone, it pissed me off more that I had to carry 2 phones when on call/at work.
Next company is 2x times bigger and known to the worst in my field. I needed a quick job and the shit started from day 1. I didn't last 6 months. But I did keep them off my phone, even thought it was tech obsolescence that kept them off :)
And the killer bit was the company owns a cellphone company! No freebee's in fact the 1st couple of months there my boss or higher up bosses would send me emails to switch over to them. Dickhead that owns the company wanted 100% of the employees to be subscribers.
Fuck that lol
