This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Paging rflor - company BYOD policy further explained by OCND

We had a rollout meeting for managers to discuss specifics. Here's what was said:

1. The policy is called Mobile Access Management (MAM).
2. Company data will not be accessible by O365 login over the web, nor will it be accessible by either iOS or Android native apps like mail, calendar, etc.
3. Access will only be granted through apps such as Outlook, Skype for Business, etc., which will require a secondary password to open.
4. Those apps will only be available through the company MAM security app, which will be required to be installed on personal phones should access be desired.
5. Supposedly, personal data will not be visible to the company
6. There will be no ability to wipe a phone, etc.
7. There will be no reimbursement of employee cell costs.

I guess it's not as bad as I envisioned or was told, based on previous iterations of the plan. My two issues are: is personal data really invisible, and through those apps, can location be tracked? I don't fuck around on company time or anything like that, but I'm also not into having my exact whereabouts known. Thoughts?
