Around 2015, My niece told me she worked at a bank teller and the first thing they did was require her to install the bank’s app and rate it five stars. She said her phone is too old and they got angry. And she’d tell me they’d do “phone sweeps” to see if the app was on people’s phones.

Do min-wage companies still do this or do they know better?

Personal devices are personal.

Nowhere in the civilized world are they allowed to do this.

Still no in any civilized society.

it’s literally a contractual provision. are contracts not allowed in societies
Show threadDon PianoMar 25
Correct, some contracts cannot be done. Depending on the specifics, the illegal parts of the contract are unenforceable, or the entire thing is null and void. Employers often hate this, because it limits the exploitation they can enact upon employees.

If they’re paying your bill, buy another phone that’s “work only”. Although you shouldn’t have to buy the second phone either, well, here we are.

It’s my understanding that American companies can demand access to personal data on company phones?

America is a pro-business country.

They can fire you for any reason, like if they hate you’re gay. They don’t SAY that. They wishy washy it with “not a cultural fit”. Or throw you into difficult situations so they can fire you with “unable to complete tasks”.

I have Europeans who joined my company surprised at how little protection they get.

When I worked at UPS, we weren’t allowed to have beards and our hair couldn’t be long enough to touch our ears. Literally fireable offenses.
