I never let a company have access to my devices. They can buy me a phone if they want to (the last place I worked did).

- mousetree 4y agoIn my experience most companies would provide the device if they require MDM. Would definitely be a hard no if they asked me to MDM a personal device
- aidenn0 4y agoPretty much every MDM advertises BYOD support, so presumably somebody is doing that?
- Macha 4y agoI know our company lets you BYOD if you don't want to deal with also carrying around the company supplied devices. They have the opposite problem, as the company lets you pick between the top end iPhone and Samsung with a 2 year replacement window, so people are tempted to use their company supplied device as their personal device also.
- whstl 4y agoI once worked at a company that paid "device rental" money to employees that used their own devices. It needed MDM, but you could rescind it at any time. Some co-workers would finance laptops and use the "rental" money to pay the installments. I did the math and it wasn't worth it for me, though.
- Aissen 4y agoThat's the thing, it's not your device, it's your work device.
- rejectfinite 4y agoYes. But MDM/Intune can also be set to company devices.
- kabdib 4y agoExactly.
- advisedwang 4y agoThe thread talks about getting extended manufacturer support, which suggests they are all the same device, which suggests this was company provided devices.
