Do your employers offer a business phone, or do they have a BYOD policy ?
No matter how on top of things I am, I will never get used to clients calling me out of the blue.

I'm also concerned about the suite of software automatically installed on devices where I install outlook and Teams. I'm not afraid of snooping on activity as much as I am concerned that my personal device will be used to track office attendance and measure productivity somehow

BYOD. At a previous job ages ago I could expense my phone bill.

I think that's super old school. Work and life are blended. I don't personally think employers should pay for our phones or the service. Especially now that we get to work from home and our hours are so flexible. And I'm usually on the employee side...always want what's best for them...but on this issue...we are using our phones constantly...just find your own plan and pay for it. Negotiate an extra 1k in your next position if it makes you feel better. IMO

smart

Agreed I will gladly take this trade off to work from phone and I don't see it as a money issue, just an annoyance when calls come in at night and on weekends.

Two agencies ago I had a work phone provided. This was due to paperwork I needed to sign upon employment where company had access to anything on my phone if they wanted. I refused to sign so they got me a phone. Read employment documents carefully - your privacy matters.

Work provided device

No business phone and I agree, I dislike getting work calls on my personal cell.

The separation of work and personal life through which phone you're using is real

I also think it would be a pain to carry two devices. How is that better? Just one more thing to carry, charge, and possibly lose.

It's a lot easier to leave your work phone charging while you go on a walk or vacation without getting sucked into outlook or teams on your personal device

Well depends. Some companies do some don’t
