Your employer should not own your personal phone

Lately, almost every company expects you to install multiple work apps on your personal phone.
Workday. ADP. Internal chat. MFA apps. HR tools.

And nobody talks about the hidden cost:

  • Your data
  • Your battery
  • Your storage
  • Your attention

Companies created the requirement.
But the cost is silently pushed onto employees.

If an app is mandatory for work, it shouldn’t be mandatory on a personal device.

Either provide a work phone, or provide alternatives.

Curious where others stand on this:
Would you push back, or is this just “normal” now?
