My company just started requiring Microsoft Intune Company Portal app to use Teams and Outlook. From a friend in IT infosec at another company said the app can push apps, require certain settings, password requirements, or OSs, and can see a lot of stuff on your phone. I don't think this level of intrusion into my personal phone is warranted or ethical. Be warned. I'm just going to uninstall and suffer the internal political consequences.

I required them to give me a phone if they wanted extra control. So they gave me one. And then I refused to carry it around outside work hours, because I'm not paid for that and refuse to carry 2 devices and must have my personal device. So I never used the phone for work, it became an android auto device that sat in my car.

    If you're hourly, that totally makes sense, but if you're salary then in a lot of places in the world they kind of semi-own your ass and you do have to check messages outside of "work hours" since those technically don't exist for you. Some companies might enforce the standard 8-5, Monday through Friday and encourage only working 40 hours a week (and those are good companies), but legally they don't have to limit it to just that on salary.
