My company just started requiring Microsoft Intune Company Portal app to use Teams and Outlook. From a friend in IT infosec at another company said the app can push apps, require certain settings, password requirements, or OSs, and can see a lot of stuff on your phone. I don't think this level of intrusion into my personal phone is warranted or ethical. Be warned. I'm just going to uninstall and suffer the internal political consequences.

When I started my current job, the first moderately healthy work environment I’ve ever been in, I had trouble getting outlook on my phone because of this issue. I went to my boss and told him “I’ve been having some trouble getting work emails on my phone-“ and he interrupted me with a “Why the hell would you want to check emails at home?”

Great point! No one asked me to, just assumed I should out of habit.
