Hi there. I need to use my phone for work, but want to isolate anything that is work related. What’s the recommended way of doing so these days? Found the Foss app called Shelter, but found it to be a bit buggy and seems to have been a while since previous update. Let me know about any tips or recommendations regarding this! 🙌
Yes, that is how contracts work, similar to how Terms and Conditions generally allow websites to take any data they’d like from you, and sign away rights like class action law suits. Contracts can also say that if you have work property on your phone, they have every right to take your phone.
You clearly have never worked somewhere where said company requires you to have a work app, and it shows.
Oooh, so now it’s a contract thing… Still BS and made up, but I like how you backtrack.
And yes, I’ve worked in companies that require a work app. Some gave a phone, others allow to install in your. Current is a fortune 50 that allows installing on your own using Intune.
And you can be sure they are smart enough to not try to take away employee property because contracts with illegal terms are not enforceable, so they don’t even try.
I guess you’re used to being treated badly, in which case I’m sorry for you.
