Sure if you are in a strong stable position in life you can do that. The average person doesn’t want to rock the boat and cause troubles in their life so they install the invasive mdm profile.

It needs to be made illegal imo. The company should provide you a device if you need one for the job.

> invasive mdm profile

What do you think is invasive in an MDM profile? It's just a channel to push data to your phone. Your information outside the work container stays private. Even inside the work container nobody can actually fetch any data from those apps.

I do agree with you though - a company must provide phones to their employees, not force them to enroll into their MDM services. The latter should be only for exceptional cases, e.g., gain temporarily access to corporate VPN, WiFi, etc., on your private device.

My company MDM doesn't consider GrapheneOS good enough to give me access to email/calendar - impasse?
