One personal phone, one work phone.
- KaiserPro 1y ago100%, separate church and state. especially if you're signed into an account that manages your phone. As we discovered its perfectly possible (or was) to remote wipe a personal android phone if they are signed in using your company google account. but less paranoid-ly it means you can put your workphone physically else where so you are not tempted to "check in" or have out of hours fun ruin your time off.
- elAhmo 1y agoDefinitely not advocating for the same device used for work and personal stuff, but for on call I think extra work device (phone), if not really needed other than receiving a ping, is just useless. Apps that notify you about incidents are not really doing anything "outside" of on-call shifts.
- elAhmo 1y agoBut you still have to carry two phones, or using work phone during personal time (as part of on-call). How is this better than just having PagerDuty/Incident.io/whatever and receiving pings there? You are disrupting your time anyway, but having an extra phone for that seems redundant.
- arccy 1y agofor some of us, just logging in with a corp account into pagerduty / whatever on a personal device is a no go.
