Yeah the whole thing is kinda dumb on both ends. From the employees perspective it’s ridiculous to allow the company have any level of control over a device they own. From the company’s perspective, why would you want to allow access and/or have information that’s the company’s property on a device the company doesn’t own?
If I have a password for key company infrastructure stored on my personal phone, then the company fires me… well that seems like a problem a company would want to avoid. It could happen in any scenario, but significantly less likely if I have to turn in my company phone when my employment ends.
But hey the company saves a few bucks on buying phones and that helps the quarterly profits I guess.
