    While it has not yet been enforced, my employer has an MDM. Because I do not want to violate this policy or install something that gives my employer access to my device, I do not use my personal device for work and I do not have a work device other than my laptop.

    This has given me some interesting perspectives.

    • I do not need to be connected at all times.
    • I can walk away.
    • They pay me for work hours, not for my free time.
    • I can easily disconnect every night and weekend, even emergencies in my area can wait.

    Seems people think things are much more urgent than they should be or actually are.

      I wish I could get my partner to see it this way… they work in IT and manage the MDM tho, and the other person with access has been partner’s friend and colleague for over 10 years, so partner is confident it’ll all be fine.

      Such a dumb mindset for someone who constantly complains of being burnt out… like no shit you are burned out, you check work emails all day/night, and handle them regardless of time…
