Just a reminder, especially in this wild time we live in. DO NOT INSTALL WORK MDM ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE.
If your work requires Microsoft Intune or similar MDM, to get email/teams/slack. don't accept it. It opens your device up for them to access private data and disable/delete your phone (even if they say they wont, they can)

@[email protected] In my previous job, I worked with Intune MDM... Yeah we had several instances of someone on my team accidentally disabling or wiping employee-owned phones. I suspect this is more common than many would like to admit. After that experience, I'll never allow an employer to have control over my personal device, even if it means I have to find a new job.

@[email protected] yeah. People are not infallible. Look at the stories of jealous cops using license plate scanner cameras to track an ex.

Or just a micromanaging boss wanting to know your location.

Sometimes it’s an intern hitting the wrong button.
