Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. There’s no excuse not to use your cell phone for private stuff. In fact don’t use the company Wi-Fi. You must use the company Wi-Fi then you must use a VPN
But no excuse anymore not to use your phone, you don’t need to use the word computer to browse, send emails, flirt, whatever
All of my colleagues have work provided phones and laptops. They do all their personal shit on these devices (they don’t have their own)
They think i’m a huge weirdo for having my own personal devices… “Why waste money? Work gives us computer/phone… Lol, yoi carry two phones like a drug dealer?”
Like IT gives you any time to get anything off a corporate-owned device.
When I got laid off, IT sent a bullet to my laptop immediately kicking me off and completely locking me out of it.
I was supposed to have another 4 days to transition my work. I contacted IT and was told once the bullet goes out, that’s it. Any and all access to everything has been terminated. Might as well just go home and enjoy the extra 4 days because no one’s going to undo a bullet going off early unless it comes from the C-suite. So I did.
Mine does. They also keep an eye on it because I had gotten through it and that only worked a few days before it was blocked too. Didn’t want to press my luck after that.

Then they have nobody to blame but themselves when drama happens.
IT: “You’ve been fired. Please return your laptop…”
“But how do i retrieve all my personal files?”
IT: [Shrug emoji]

@EmbeddedEntropy @9488fcea02a9 Okay. Note fur future me: BACKUP🙃
Just tell them “I don’t want to spend company’s resources for my own private life.”
The only way is to give them back that guilt and fear they are feeling.
it’s one thing if they pay for them but if they are actually company devices that’s fucking weird
Nope. It’s not a pay and reimburse situation
Pure company owned devices
WTF? What country? Even at jobs where I was given a phone no one felt like ditching their personal devices.
I suspect its a millenial thing…
A few of us old guys keep personal devices… Our young colleages just expect the company to provide devices for them and never have to buy their own
Or we can’t afford our own 😕.
Decent used laptops are quite affordable. I recently scored one on Ebay for under $100. It runs Linux and everything is snappy.

Don’t most work Wifi networks prevent VPM use?
This has not been my experience
Mine does. They also keep an eye on it because I had gotten through it and that only worked a few days before it was blocked too. Didn’t want to press my luck after that.
then spin up your own wireguard instance and connect to it?
Use Tailscale. Much easier to configure and manage than raw WireGuard.

where the hell do you work dude
No.
The company VPN or the client VPN, sadly
I mean if your personal device is attached to a work network use a always on personal VPN.
If you can’t for whatever reason then don’t connect to the wifi!
