>talk to your admins How? Maybe this hits harder for me as a work from home employee but it's never been harder to get ahold of an admin. Everything must be done in channels and rarely does anything seem to pass through the local supervisor level. Most things are presented as a take it or leave it situation and no consideration or nuance is even pretended at. Stuff where admins use ridiculous settings are expected to be accepted without feedback.

You likely need to take a step back, and reconsider your position. the browser you choose to use, doesn't support a feature that is required by many cyber security insurance policies. I feel it is very likely that you have been provided with a better method to check your mail on a mobile device than in the browser on your phone. it seems very unlikely that if your company is doing compliance that the suggested method isn't to use the outlook app itself. So it maybe worth considering are the policies and settings ridiculous, or are you?

For me at my org we have a help-desk we can email, with an issue number so we can follow up. This system tracks certain metrics which I hope are used to gauge the effectiveness of IT support and infrastructure. When I hit a my limit of bullshit I formatted my machine and installed linux. This is a nuclear option and would not work in other orgs have that locked down machines. For checking email, I would use whatever works. There are bigger battles
