Using your own devices is called “BYOD”. There’s a joke in IT operations/security that the “D” stands for “Disaster”. It’s completely impossible to run a secure operation if people are allowed to use their own devices. If you cannot enforce standard builds, security policies, and updates, then you simply cannot be secure. Windows has come a long way in the past 20 years, and it is definitely on par with regards to security (in general) as other operating systems. However, it also has the advantage of being able to be joined to a domain where Group Policies can be pushed. No other OS has a meaningful equivalent of Group Policy (no, Ansible, etc don’t do the same thing, and would require an enormous amount of effort to replicate what Group Policy does). This post is talking about burn-out, and that definitely can cause negative emotions. But in your case, it sounds like you’re expecting to be treated as a special snowflake and they’re not having it. That would understandably cause negative emotions for you, but the underlying reason in your case is caused by a (probably) incorrect perception of yourself that you should get special treatment for some reason, and you’re having a tantrum because you’re not getting it.
