At a previous employer they wanted me to install some work software on my iPhone. Nothing particularly invasive as far as I could tell, just Okta, gmail, etc. I told them up front that it violated my personal security policy to install any work software on my personal devices. I told them this was for their protection as much as my own. This brought my boss up short and he wondered aloud why this wasn’t already company policy. Fast forward two months and it became company policy. So it’s my fault that everyone that needs to use company software on their phone has to carry a separate company phone.
