> assume that HR can view EVERYTHING on your phone, because they can

Patently false, for many values of ‘everything’ and ‘phone’.

An MDM has zero visibility into an iPhone’s browsing history, iMessage content, or the content of any app not installed directly by the MDM. So things like Signal, WhatsApp, and even the default mail app are off limits.

An MDM can install a root certificate + VPN and snoop on your network traffic (which would disclose a lot of things).

Why is this being downvoted? Is it not accurate? If so could someone explain where djrogers is wrong?

It is correct, with the exception that MDM can erase your phone and can install a VPN on it. But you can easily check if it did or not.
