You realize even if its isolated that if anything ever goes wrong at work, they have every right to take your phone yeah?
Never put work things on a personal phone. I don't know if im just lucky, or if you have every right to do this but; if work requires putting something on your phone, make them buy you a new phone, a work specific phone. I've had to sign a few contracts ensuring the phone lives, but I've atleast never had to hand over a personal phone for work.
(With the added benefit of being able to turn off my work phone and being fully free from work)
I dont see it being legal (at least in the US) that work can take your personal property. I had a whole battle with my previous employer over this with the Union being on my side. If you installed a program that belongs to them it can be uninstalled and then it is gone.
With at-will employment, it could be grounds for termination in many instances if you refuse
As a person who cares deeply about my own personal privacy and property I'd rather be terminated. I'd rather make my life harder and possibly go homeless than give up my rights or property. I know thats not what most people would prefer to do though.
