My job keeps insisting i install a "office partition profile" on my phone. Well i dont want 24/7 contact with them, and i dont want their mgmt shit all over my private device.
This article is more proof im not insane as the only holdout againt this mgmt partition.
If corporate wants something, they can provide corporate phones. I keep company and private strictly separate.
Yeah one of my clients right now is a major hospital in the area, they currently have work provided phones but they have been told that those are going away because they are too expensive for the it group to have. They've then been told that they are going to be using their personal cell phones and they need to install all this extra software on them. Most of these guys being in it have said no and you're not putting your stuff on my phone and if you want this stuff then you can provide a phone for me. So it's starting to become a showdown between finance and it. And I constantly reminded them that they are under absolutely no obligation to install anything work related on a private phone. In fact they don't even need to provide their phone number for contact after hours. And I really hope that they stick to their guns but we'll see most people end up folding in these types of situations.
They should say if mgmt can install software on my phone, thencwe can watch pron and play steam games on work devices.
I would maybe demand management first install my spy cameras in every room of their domicile including bathrooms and bedrooms and closets.
I would collect the data and sell it or give it away for free.
But what if I run into a weird masochist or exhibitionist who actually agrees? I wouldn't want that kind of gamble in the end.
