No, but I’m in a technical role where pretty much everyone has one anyway. Our company culture is such that they’d find a workaround (e.g. provide a phone if needed).
My last role required a smartphone, and we got ~$50/month on our paycheck to pay for it. My current job doesn’t “require” anything, it’s just strongly recommended.
I think in that scenario, you could separately open an account with a cheap provider that includes a free, cheap phone and dedicate its use to only work. So yes, pain in the ass worth extra steps, but not a requirement to use your own phone.
I think it’s garage regardless, if they need you to have a phone, they should fully provide, but just pointing out that it’s legal fuckery on their part as it’s meant to confuse/scare people into thinking they don’t have a choice.
