Some agencies don't allow you to check work email on personal devices.

I found a workaround for this with my company (logging in through the web using LastPass). They tried to tell us we all had to download some sketchy software. No way in hell do they need to know who I call and text outside of work hours.

Ugh, my company uses something similar but thankfully, they give us cell phones so it is only downloaded to the work cell, not my personal cell. My boss keeps telling me I should get rid of my personal cell and just use the corporate one. Except the software on it tracks everything (my location, calls, texts, emails, contacts, keystrokes, passwords) and stores it on the company servers and can be remotely accessed or wiped at any time. Why would I want to use that phone for any of my personal stuff?

This is exactly what my company's software of choice does! They "encourage" us to "Bring Your Own Device" and I told them the options were either they gave me a company phone, or they accepted that I am unreachable by email outside of office hours. It actually made my life MUCH better not having my phone constantly ping for work emails at all hours of the day.
