Personal device? Yeah I refused to download IPG’s malware for that reason. I’ve been the annoying person in the IPG bowl letting people know that there has been no explaination as to why IPG wants MDM access when Intune offers MAM access. With MAM all the work-related stuff is fenced in its own thing that they have control of, whereas MDM means they can even straight up wipe your phone. The bootlickers pull the “nobody cares about your personal info” card when my issue is that mistakes happen. Sometimes, even payroll misses a date. So no, I’m not going to give our corporate overlords that kind of access to my personal device.

Lmao they absolutely do care about your personal info. Good on you for pushing back on this bullshit

Yep, Accenture does that. I refused to have email on my phone bc the permissions were outrageous. I feel like I'm the only one who didn't accept it but it hasn't been an issue

Pretty sure they have to have access to it in some way. I worked at a skeevy agency that was rumored to surveil all the conference rooms and somehow accessed some people’s phones. I can’t be certain but it tracked

We all are in some way every time we download an app… Do mean personally by your employer or significant other?

Personal device? No but most agencies now use keystroke surveillance on company-issued laptops and most likely another kind for company-issued phones. I’m always cautious when using email or teams on my work laptop.

If you’re talking sh*t about the company or management w/ a co-worker always do it via personal phones.

Critical detail: did you consent?

I signed a boilerplate NDA but there was nothing in my contract about consenting to this. I already operate under the assumption all work devices are compromised with keyloggers etc.

McCann’s expectations are crazy with this. Did they not offer you a work phone?

Never been under surveillance on my personal device, no. How did that even happen? I only use my work phone for work related things, and I would never download a work app on my personal phone. What reason could they possibly give for needing to look at your personal phone?

Request a work phone... shouldn't be a big deal
