You should just get a cheap phone to use for work. No reason to have their software on your own device. That will undoubtedly be used for creepy purposes.

    Work profiles exist for this reason. A completely separate environment that is isolated from the rest of the phone and can be turned on and off on demand.
    Some manufacturers, like Samsung, make it difficult to access, but it's there.

    And the obvious annoyance of having two phones

    Still worth it. The amount of time you will save by not having junk on your phone slowing it down will make up for it.

    I don't find this applies. I have an email account and chat app for work. I'm using a 4 year old phone. It's not slow.

    Also having stuff consime your disk doesn't really slow it down.

    That's not really company imposed spyware though. If I thought in any way that my boss was trying to make me install spyware I wouldn't the very least install it in shelter, something that has been disappeared during the Google play store purges. You can still find the apk online atleast until Google kills android soon with their ban on user installable software outside of the play store.
