I never understood why people are using the same phone for work and private life. Even if they call my private phone number I wonβt answer (especially outside work time). And my work phone stays on my desk, so also not available after work.
If I'm on call and out somewhere, I don't want to have to carry two phones.
But when I'm on vacation or off for the weekend, I don't want to be reachable by work.
Some people have different jobs that require it. Sometimes being able to check an email means less work, not more. Just because its there doesnt mean its toxic.
Then you mute slack.
They don't even get my actual phone number... They get a Google Voice number that is only active during work hours.
Yeah 100% agreed. I'm not mixing work on my personal device
Same. I use my previous personal handset as my work phone. It doesn't even have a SIM in it -- I tether my current personal phone to it when I need it for work and not at home (I work remotely).
When I'm not at work, the WiFi on my work phone goes off.
Little messages / quick checks for work purposes add up very quickly. They're insidious.
My work provides me with an iPhone which I keep on me while I'm on the clock, then when I get home I tuck it in my drawer until the next morning and pull out my S21. If I get a message on my work phone while I'm off the clock i intentionally wait until I clock in the next day to respond. If it's an absolute emergency my work does know my personal number and can contact me that way but they have never done that. It's actually a very convenient system.
My work pay's a 70 dollar stipend if you have on-call duties, which pays my bill completely. I still have AGGRESSIVE DND rules and a whitelist for the on-call number so I'm only really bothered when I want to be.
I don't have to buy a personal phone so I just use my work phone as my only phone.
FYI this is very risky for your personal privacy and security. Hope you never send a single message that you're not ok with the whole company reading!
