I don&#x27;t know who needs to read this but:<p>Always always <i>always</i> keep personal and work things 100% separate. For most of you this means carrying around two laptops and two phones. It&#x27;s mildly annoying but it&#x27;s just part of being a tech worker in the 2020&#x27;s.

&quot;Employees could pause during onboarding and say they want to create a new Apple ID specifically for work or use a different phone. But most do not — it seems a little paranoid, and the Apple instructions say to go ahead &quot;<p>A real nothing burger as employees really do have a choice to protect their privacy.

Sensationalism. Worked there for 8 years and had every choice to commingle (or not) personal and work accounts on both company and personal devices. Wiped everything clean before I left.

&gt; Apple cares about privacy, unless you work at Apple (2021)<p>Yeah. Until you read the TOS.<p>&quot;You can turn off wi-fi, location, cellular data, but not for Apple apps&quot;.

&quot;Privacy&quot; in this company is always interpreted as &quot;outsiders having access, not us&quot; so I&#x27;m not surprised. It&#x27;s actually where they are wrong, it&#x27;s the same for customers.
