Honestly don't mind when workplaces enforce X or Y. It's not like any of my personal stuff goes on the work equipment anyway, nor is work stuff going on my personal equipment.

Fair enough. Unfortunately some bosses force staff to have Outlook and/or Teams on their personal phones as well. I hate it.

depend in what country you work, i can't answer for you, but for me(brasil) is literally against the law

Some bosses should be told "No".

Yea, you want shit on my phone? Give me a work phone.

As an enterprise IT geek of 30 years, having work stuff on personal devices is a hard no, unless you're doing a managed containerized setup like decent MDM does.

But anyone with that setup likely wouldn't force users to use their personal device, because they know how problematic that is.
