Americans are creepily proud of their giant sign on 4 wheels that says "I'm incompetent, stupid and have never had to haul anything in my life other than my friends couch 6 years ago'

It was not clear it was a reimbursement so the clarification is helpful, and its good to hear there are other people who do not blindly sign away rights. Although depending what you have installed, the first article I linked may still apply. I would imagine if its just teams you may be fine but, again, IANAL and I would not personally risk it. YRMV and all that :P

Legitimate Reasons for Employer Device Access There are valid reasons why an employer might need to access an employee’s phone, regardless of ownership: Legal Compliance: To comply with legal requests such as subpoenas or investigations. Security Breaches: To investigate potential security breaches or data leaks. Violation of Company Policy: To investigate violations of company policies regarding acceptable use. Employee Termination: Upon termination, to retrieve company data and ensure a smooth transition.

Let's be generous and say your employer considers your phone a personal device even though they pay for the service.

For an employer to legally track a personal phone’s location, they need explicit consent from the employee and must have narrowly defined policies.

Is there anything stopping them from hiding a tracking policy in your contract? Did you fully read the contract to check? Would allowing them to pay for the service count as consent in court? IANAL, but why would you risk it, when you could just have a work phone you only use for work.

If youre in the US and your company is paying your phone bill, they are legally allowed to access your location via cell towers at any given moment. That, in combination with the fact that they can also legally take the phone from you (You have company trade secrets on that device if you install their software), I dont see the point in risking not having a 2nd device.

Thats fair. What's using texting apps like? Do you get the original T9 experience?
