A lot of small to mid sized companies lack controls around personal device use. For many years we were actually encouraged by first-line managers to use personal devices to communicate when out-of-office. And yes, I always C my A.

A fragmented internet is a better internet

I’m going to quote that at every opportunity.

For a long time, I would occasionally use my personal phone to check work email and Slack when I had to be out-of-office for an errand. They created a new policy last month that would force me to have a “work” profile on my phone if I wanted to continue using those apps. Fuck that. Instead I removed every work related app from my phone.

“Sorry boss, I can’t check my messages while waiting at my doctor’s office anymore.Why? Oh, because IT policies won’t let me.”

Living their best life.

I’d like to imagine that the old lady took this photo. Then she printed it out, wrapped it around a big ol stinky dog turd, and dropped it in the can.
