Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid

My job doesn’t allow me to use a jailbroken/rooted device

So if/when this goes through I’ll be switching to iOS.

Given the choice between two closed platforms, I’ll pick the one that ostensibly says they’re privacy focused instead of the one actively enshittifying their product.

I obviously don’t know your situation, but using your own phone for work is a bit of a red light. If you’re required to use a phone for work, ideally the job should provide you one that meets their requirements.

  Yeah, a mandatory work phone (where the employer can define requirements) should be purchased and funded by the employer.

    Exactly.
    
    My work only requires that I have their MFA. They don’t care if it’s rooted, it just needs to allow me to login. I’m guessing if I pushed back enough, they’d find an alternative.

  I must assume they mean no use it for their business that they own. Otherwise I’ll just be sad.

You should just get a cheap phone to use for work. No reason to have their software on your own device. That will undoubtedly be used for creepy purposes.

  And the obvious annoyance of having two phones

    Still worth it. The amount of time you will save by not having junk on your phone slowing it down will make up for it.

Your job can say what phone you have? I don’t get it

  The moment my work says what phone I need is the moment I demand they provide a phone for me.
