Why not your personal calendar?

Only because I have Outlook open most of the day, and I don't really use my personal calendar for anything.

  I don't want my employer to know jack and shit about what I do outside of work hours. Personal info does not belong on corp resources. That includes personal calendar data on corp Outlook/Goog's/etc. That means not using corp network to surf personal social media, shopping on amazon, etc. I would very much encourage you to really look into this unwise practice. It's not a matter of if, but when, this will come to haunt you someday. You have a personal mobile device, use it for personal stuff. Use your corp provided devices for corp related stuff.

    It always amazes me how much info people are willing to turn over to other entities that have no business with it. My favorite are co-workers who allow mobile device management profiles on their personal phones so they don't have to carry around a separate work phone. No way in hell would I ever agree to that! Stupidity for convenience :p

      If I don't have to open up a work laptop to check an email or copy a couple of spreadsheet cells into a reply, and can spend more time with family, I wouldn't call that stupid. Many companies aren't in a position to hand out fully-managed company phones and will just shrug you off. MDM may be as light as a single app with its own policies, or something as heavy as device configuration (for VPN, remote wipe, etc). Containerised app groups seem to be a good balance.

        Sorry, allowing anyone (especially corp) the ability to remote wipe my personal device is an absolute non-starter. That is something that I will never EVER volunter to allow happen. If a company insists as condition of employement, then that is not someone that I will work for. If they are that asinine about this one policy, then who knows where else they are making insane decisions?
