Yes, I mean MDM work profiles. I play an IT guy at work and am a Google Workspace admin. We have it running in BYOD mode and it's actually not intrusive at all. The most sensitive data you can see as an admin is what apps are installed in the work profile, the phone's make + model, and the version of Android. Nothing like location, charge level, or anything outside of the work profile. I'm fine with running it on my personal device (I actually really like the way it functions), but it's borked on current versions of GOS.

How to say "I work for a company too cheapass to provide work devices".

Its all fun and games until the company gets hit with a lawsuit and discovery hits your phone and ALL your accounts, corporate and personal.

Some people don’t want to carry two devices and prefer BYOD, even if the company offers a work phone.

Ive been through a corporate discovery when oracle sued a company I worked at. Im fucking glad that my work devices were purely owned by the company.

NEVER FUCKING LET WORK AND NONWORK STREAMS CROSS.
