I never understood why people are using the same phone for work and private life. Even if they call my private phone number I won’t answer (especially outside work time). And my work phone stays on my desk, so also not available after work.
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.

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.
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

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!
