It depends on how many naked pics and nsfw chats you want your company to have.

I’d weigh my options cost vs convenience. I always choose dial phones because I like to separate personal life from work life. Work phone usually stays in laptop bag

Use Google Voice to get a dedicated number, use this for work, and link to your personal phone. 2 separate lines, 1 physical phone.

This is what I do, and it works pretty well but I feel bad for green bubbling people with iphones 🥴

Have your own phone but company's plan.

There is nothing like the zen of leaving my work phone behind on vacations, weekend date nights and special occasions. I set these expectations with my teams and I’m serious about observing them unless I know something truly critical is happening. I think separate phones is a step toward making this job sustainable if you manage it properly.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

I have a splunk question…. When would it be appropriate to use a dashboard instead of the actual logs to validate that all changes are being logged. My client uses dashboards to monitor higher risk changes in real time. It is not intended to “monitor or capture “ all changes. I think this is incompetence on the part of the assessment team
