Hey everyone! I hope all is well 🙂 Let’s jump straight in…
My manager is telling me that I have to download a work app on my phone to punch in and out. He wanted me to do this when I started my job over a year ago but never got around to it. He texted me around 2am asking me could I come in to the office so he could put the app on my phone and show me how it works. I DO NOT want to do this. I don’t want any trackers on me and it’s already bad enough all the data I use for this job in driving to work using gps and using my own hotspot while at work to do work related things. Is there anyway to get around this? I thought about getting a “burner phone” but my manager and I text here and there so he knows I have a iPhone. Are there such things as no internet access iPhones or a way to block myself from downloading apps on my phone. It is not in my contract (from my knowledge) that I must have a phone. I’m a “people pleaser” so it’s also hard for me to say no. Right now… I manually have to write my times out and hand them in. I enjoy my job very much but this constant pressure of using my device for so many work related things is making me hate it.
I’m lost and don’t know what to do 🙁 some help or advice would be appreciated!
Also for reference- I’m in the state of Maryland. I’m in healthcare.
Thanks peeps 🙂
