No only do I have a separate work phone, but my personal phone has two SIM cards (one physical and one eSIM), one of those numbers is my general spam number that I give to businesses and acquaintances, and the other is my actual personal phone number that only the people close to me in real life get. I have a widget on the home screen that can disable/enable the spam SIM card at will.
Makes it real easy to control how available I am to different groups of people.
After work, I put my work phone away. I have been in this industry for over a decade and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I will never let an employer steal time away from my family again. Especially now that they want us all to RTO. Office time is theirs, home time is mine.
Anyone who doesn’t want some corporate IT administrator to be able to fat finger bricking their phone, or install corporate spyware on a personal device.
