My job doesn’t allow me to use a jailbroken/rooted device
So if/when this goes through I’ll be switching to iOS.
Given the choice between two closed platforms, I’ll pick the one that ostensibly says they’re privacy focused instead of the one actively enshittifying their product.
I obviously don’t know your situation, but using your own phone for work is a bit of a red flag. If you’re required to use a phone for work, ideally the job should provide you one that meets their requirements.
My work only requires that I have their MFA. They don’t care if it’s rooted, it just needs to allow me to login. I’m guessing if I pushed back enough, they’d find an alternative.
You should just get a cheap phone to use for work. No reason to have their software on your own device. That will undoubtedly be used for creepy purposes.
Work profiles exist for this reason. A completely separate environment that is isolated from the rest of the phone and can be turned on and off on demand.
Some manufacturers, like Samsung, make it difficult to access, but it’s there.

Yeah, a mandatory work phone (where the employer can define requirements) should be purchased and funded by the employer.
Exactly.

I must assume they mean no use it for their business that they own. Otherwise I’ll just be sad.
How about Murena Fairphone/Shiftphone with non-rooted /e/OS and locked bootloader?

Yes i never saw this feature until I discovered shelter which uses this to protect your personal info.
And the obvious annoyance of having two phones
Still worth it. The amount of time you will save by not having junk on your phone slowing it down will make up for it.
Your job can say what phone you have? I don’t get it
The moment my work says what phone I need is the moment I demand they provide a phone for me.
