I hate how common it's become for companies to force you to install things on your personal phone. Even worse is some of them demand you install a MDM profile on your personal phone which feels 1000% over the line of reasonable.

I've just refused to install such things on my phone.
You want me to have email and teams/slack on my phone? Sorry, I won't install the spyware. Want to pay for me to have a second phone with it? Okay. No? Well then, I just won't have email on my phone.

Sure if you are in a strong stable position in life you can do that. The average person doesn’t want to rock the boat and cause troubles in their life so they install the invasive mdm profile.
It needs to be made illegal imo. The company should provide you a device if you need one for the job.

My company MDM doesn't consider GrapheneOS good enough to give me access to email/calendar - impasse?

Spyware aside - I think about data breaches, even if my phone is "secure/compliant".
Scenario: Your account gets compromised somehow. It's signed in to your personal phone. Company data gets leaked or ransomed.
Your phone and its contents are now evidence.
