You have a high quality phone given to you from the company you work. Since you don't trust your company, you fell the need to buy another phone that will depreciate in a couple of years. You also need to carry another brick in your pocket or purse. Just to be able to talk freely. Sure it is a burn phone.
I have wifi access when I'm on my company, but I don't feel the need to buy another phone just to be able to speak freely.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> I don't feel the need to buy another phone just to be able to speak freely If you aren’t whistleblowing, that’s reasonable. Companies have every tool available to pursue NDA breachers, trader secret stealers and insider traders on their hands to chase whistleblowers. Phones are cheaper than heavy litigation and the threat of prison time.
- disgruntledphd2 8y agoEven when a company gives me a phone, I keep my personal. If you leave a company unexpectedly (which can happen), it's good if you don't give up the ability to be contacted. I made this mistake in my twenties, and never again.
- neves 8y agoGood point. When a company gives you a phone, can't you mantain the number when you leave?
- disgruntledphd2 8y agoSometimes that isn't possible (unexpected leaving). That's when you'll really value the personal phone. Some companies are dicks about it also, which can be a concern.
