Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. There's no excuse not to use your cell phone for private stuff. In fact don't use the company Wi-Fi. You must use the company Wi-Fi then you must use a VPN
But no excuse anymore not to use your phone, you don't need to use the word computer to browse, send emails, flirt, whatever
All of my colleagues have work provided phones and laptops. They do all their personal shit on these devices (they don't have their own)
They think i'm a huge weirdo for having my own personal devices.... "Why waste money? Work gives us computer/phone... Lol, you carry two phones like a drug dealer?"
WTF? What country? Even at jobs where I was given a phone no one felt like ditching their personal devices.
I suspect its a millenial thing....
A few of us old guys keep personal devices.... Our young colleages just expect the company to provide devices for them and never have to buy their own
Or we can’t afford our own 😕.
