Do you really think it's a good idea to install an unofficial OS on a device your employer owns without their permission?
Again, someone who knows nothing about the OS.
Inform yourself before making these statements. It's a more secure, hardened version of the official OS. It is not rooted nor is it displayed to the employer as anything other than Android.
Stop making uniformed statements.
This has nothing to do with the way the OS works, and everything to do with corporate policy. This would be against the IT policy at most companies, and circumventing their ability to remotely manage the device could easily get you fired.
Oh, no. Anyway...
Seriously, people shilling for business policy over privacy in this commentary is wild.
I'm just being realistic. Some companies will fire you over this, at it will be "for cause" so you won't even be eligible for unemployment. If you can afford to lose your job, you can afford to buy your own phone for personal use. But if you want to take that risk, I won't stop you.
