The days of a boss key seem long gone. Workplace surveillance is at a
whole new level nowadays.

I started off in an environment where most data was cleartext, and you
didn't snoop because, well, it was tacky. I recall after I'd left a
company finding out that my successor was caught snooping SMTP mail and
archiving other people's email based on keywords. He was let go, of
course.

When our network people felt it appropriate in the workplace to MITM SSL
sessions and snoop traffic, I felt like I'd switched sides. Thankfully,
when it comes to homing from work (as opposed to working from home...)
we all have capable cell phones and VPN clients.

But wait -- now Intune snoops network traffic on your phone in order for
you to check your email on your personal phone. They have a list of
things that Intune can and cannot see, but there's no trust or
verification.

I use work apps on my personal phone quite often. I'm tempted to put a
SIM in one of my older phones and use it for work only.
