I completely agree. I carry two devices, one is work (provided by Boeing) and the other is personal. If the company doesn't see fit to provide me with a cell phone, I refuse to give out my personal number (generally speaking.) It was also a battle to get them to cough up a smartphone. It was a simple conversation. If you want the capacity to call me and look at email when I'm away from the shop, you'll need to provide the tool for that. I'm not giving you my personal number, and I'm sure as hell not installing some app that you tell me to. Personal is personal and business is business.

I don't work for free, nor do I let my employer dictate anything outside of work. Anything less is absolutely unethical in my opinion. I'm an "hourly" employee but perform many supervisory functions. Thankfully, I have a management team above me that appreciates the nuance. In my world, my employer is such a big faceless entity that they would take every bit extra I'm willing to give and then lay me off without a second thought. The corporate world has no morality. Once you open Pandora's box it is very hard to close.
