I have been using a company phone as both personal/work phone for the past 10 years, but recently the new CFO decided that only managers should get an iphone 14, while the rest of us will receive a cheap android (galaxy s20 fe or similar). Previously the policy was for everyone to receive the same phone, regardless of position. This is not going great, as by now everyone is invested in apple's walled garden and are not willing to switch.
I talked to a coworker that also didn't have a personal number anymore, and with this change he decided to buy an iphone out of his pocket as a personal phone and use both.
I am thinking about just returning the company phone and switch to a personal phone as I don't want to keep carrying two phones around. On the plus side, I don't need to be on call during the weekends/nights, but I dunno how realistic this option is (i work in IT and if something breaks they usually call me afterhours).
What would you do in this situation?
