You know they'll give a low-tier samsung with physical buttons that barely passes for a smartphone and you'll complain in less than a week that you can't install work apps on your personal phone.
- klyrs 3y agoSpeak for yourself, if my work gave me a phone like that for 2FA, it would be absolutely perfect because I wouldn't use it for anything but 2FA.
- amne 3y agoI am speaking from experience. People complained they want the company to provide phones for the oncall rotation. In less than two rotations everyone was forwarding the oncall phone number to their personal one. Soon the phone was lost in a drawer and we integrated an oncall notifying app that everyone just installed on their phone. The hassle of carrying an extra device, charging it, storing it and taking care of it is exactly that: a hassle.
- klyrs 3y agoI value the sanctity of my own hardware. Also, my personal phone is also an underpowered piece of shit, in part because I'm actually willing to endure quite a lot of annoyance to maintain a semblance of privacy on my hardware. It sounds like your coworkers aren't as ornery as myself. Lucky you, probably. But, do note that we were talking about a phone for 2FA and you're talking about a phone for on-call. I'm too senior for on-call, but I need 2FA daily.
