Let’s face it. If you are like me and 90% of everyone else here on nostr, you polish your chains in exchange for fiat money.

Some of us, like myself, have corporate jobs with a leash. That leash is in the form of a company-provided cell phone. They can call me at any time, but in exchange, I am permitted to use the phone for anything - social media, games, whatever, they don’t care and have stated this. (I happen to be the company’s Voice Services manager.)

My company has implemented some level of security on these cell phones using MDM (Mobile Device Management). MDM software comes in many different flavors and levels of intrusiveness. For most people, it’s transparent. Most companies with a modicum of security will implement MDM for BYOD or company phones - anything that will touch the network, run email or a company app.

Some MDM software is fairly passive while others can be intrusive.

When someone is terminated, the company can remotely lock you out of your phone and wipe it.

Think about this before running a wallet on your phone. Be sure to back up your #BTC seed phrase and your contacts.

Some companies don’t want to buy the phones.
