I used to have work Teams on my phone (that I personally pay for and maintain). Our IT started cracking down for very good security reasons on work data on personal devices needing to be enrolled in Intune. I tried a couple times to do it and it didn't work. I mentioned to my boss, who replied "you can do it if you want, but you don't get paid overtime so nobody expects you to."
Now I have zero work data on my phone except my calendar, read only shared to my personal account.
@stux that is a prime example of HR defining policies that they don’t understand but you must respect. In the end IT gets f-ed both ways. Losing time to go to the office and losing respect because you don’t handle fires in a timely manner…
@stux Long ago I was hired by a micro-managing schmuck. I work in a database-focused IT role and this was a 24x7 operation. Mgr repeatedly told me that he "didn't have the budget" for me to have VPN access because it cost so much monthly yadda yadda yadda. After a few months I knew the regular IT guys & asked what system they used that required some monthly charge to the department for VPN access. They laughed, I told boss there was no fee & stood watching him sign the form. 😈

One of my former employers offered to install the corporate e-mail and communications tool on staff smartphones, for a small monthly fee (to cover data charges).
I countered that if they want the ability to harass me after hours they should pay me and not the other way around.
@stux Soon, he won’t have to worry about having to work at the office either! Complete freedom! I heard that it’s super easy to find those great wfh job and he should have no problems. He should get his bright idea on a tshirt to wear for the only zoom interview he might get.
@stux React is nice... Both what I love about it is the same stuff I hate about it :)
