Yeah, I've got a company phone too. I wouldn't dream of making it my primary phone. The information the company can get from that phone about you in unsettling at best. I don't need my company knowing things about me that are ultimately in my smartphone.
If they pay any portion of the bill then they have access to everything.

You should seriously consider just taking whatever they give you and keeping a serperate phone for anything remotely personal. Trust me on this. I work in telecom. I used to manage the cellular contracts we had with nextel.

The worst thing that can happen to most workers is being given a cell phone or a laptop or (although you rarely see them) a pager because now your company, for the low low rate of about $20, owns your free time. You can't say "I didn't get the email/text/vm".

Oh, and we fired a guy once (name of Blaine) for calling in sick for two days but his GPS said he was at Cubs/Sox games. Fired another guy because he was in a bar instead of at a jobsite.

These are just thoughts frmo a guy who has been in the workforce for about as long as you've been alive.

I see what you're saying, but what do I have to hide?

It's not about hiding. Think about it. Is your time off worth a cell phone?
Relevant question, salaried?

BLAINE? His name is BLAINE? That's not a name, that's a MAJOR APPLIANCE!

Wow.
Wow.
Dude. That is the fucking gayest quote I've ever seen on this board.
Congrats on loving cock.

Is it gay because he's quoting Pretty In Pink, or am I gay for knowing that? I'm so confused.

Salaried, yes.

Darkside - before I got a phone paid for by my company, I still had to have out of office access to email...and my job responsibilities entail checking in on my emails, even when not at work. From Day 1.

My point is that 1) them buying me a phone isn't giving me any added responsibilities and 2) I've never felt that checking my emails at night or on the weekend is tough to do. I've never felt it has taken away from my free time.

Spanky, when we were at the game was my job calling me? Was I checking emails? How about when we were at the Wolves game Darko?

WOW dude. If you're salaried.... ah never mind. :lol:

Suffice to say you will learn something new soon.
Think about it though, you're getting all ready to do work for free. At night, on weekends, for no more money, and times when you used to have no work to do, you'll find that you have work to do, and some point in the near future, you'll be on a date, and that fucking phone will ding, and you'll have to take him home early.

It's always a great feeling when being salaried goes from:

If my office had couches and a putting green in a hallway I don't think I'd ever leave work.

IMU, no one has any "idea" about your work environment.

You posted about it quite a bit and people are half giving you shit half just trying to help

Chill out.

Go putt a little.

Damn, all of this started because I was just trying to bust IMU's balls.

Maybe I'll wait until his balls drop, that should make it easier.

BTW - IMU had his bluetooth in his ear the entire Cubs game. And he was waving at the camera too.

I can itch my balls and pull up my socks in one motion.
