I hate carrying my work mobile so have given a handful of colleagues my personal number in case they need to contact me while I'm off. Some git has clearly given this out to someone as I keep getting cold calls from various software and services vendors trying to sell me stuff. Most recently I got a call while pěssed up on a pier with my mates last weekend. It came from a Northampton number so I thought I'd better answer it and then spent 10 minutes trying to a) figure out who the hell it was above a howling wind b) explaining that we already had a customer experience platform and c) no, I wasn't prepared to tell them what it was!
On the BYOD front, we're currently having similar issues from a minority of users when rolling out an app based 2FA VPN solution. We haven't got a company mobile so why should we install stuff on our own phones?
It's probably Linked in mate, I am bored of telling random companies that I am not the budget holder
I broke my phone phone once and thought I would wait the 3 weeks for the latest Samsung release so I could pick up the model I wanted cheaper. Which is my prerogative, it is my personal phone.
Work "How will we get hold of you?"
Me "Cisco jabber soft phone" (They told me this is why I don't need a work phone)
Work "What if you are away from your laptop?"
Me "I don't know, I was assuming you had thought that far ahead"
