Adding another anecdote, when I said I did not want to let work control my mobile phone, my boss told me I could figure out whether I wanted to keep the job or not
- sillysaurusx 6y agoSwitch jobs! Environments like that will grind down your soul. Or at least they did for mine. Perhaps I'm projecting a little, but: please don't feel like you're stuck there. It's an illusion more often than not.
- lovich 6y agoPerhaps when I was younger I would, and did, switch jobs immediately when something like that came up. I've gotten older and the cost of switching jobs is not zero for me anymore
- scarface74 6y agoSwitch from a well paying job instead of just getting another cheap phone? Of all the hills I am willing to die on, getting another phone isn’t one. Especially if they provide a credit for your cell phone. https://www.teamblind.com/post/Amazon-Cell-Phone-Reimbursement-OBDqT5Dy https://www.teamblind.com/post/Amazon-Cell-Phone-Reimburseme...
- sdoering 6y agoI agree with my co-commenter. At least in Germany your employer isn't allowed to do this. They must provide the means to do your work, if they have specific requirements (having a mobile phone, being reachable, accessing company email and so on).
- lovich 6y agoWell I am commenting from America and there is very little they cant do unless they go out of their way to officially state they are doing it for an illegal reason
- chooseaname 6y agoWell, for me, that is a hill I choose to die on.
- driverdan 6y agoWhat if you don't have a smart phone?
- franciscop 6y agoYou can always show up next day with a dumbphone or without phone at all if you are feeling risk-taking. I personally just bought the cheapest $60-80 Android phone from a random Amazon seller.
