I'm surprised you guys havent started the push of "If you are going to force us to have this app for essential day to day work, then you need to provide us with phones to put it on, because we can not be expected to devalue our personal devices with excess work related use"

I did mention at one of these meetings that we wouldn't give them space on our personal devices for free, it did not change their tune. The union has been hammering them on it during negotiations but I doubt they'll budge on that and we have bigger issues to deal with so they won't let it be a sticking point.

Someone should analyze the app and see what permissions it needs, cause it could be a much bigger sticking point than anyone realizes if its spying on your phone activities.
