It is a burden however, and one that isn't necessary if your company has a sane BYOD policy that protects them while not being too invasive.
The reality is, convenience wins again here. I, for one, don't give a shit what control my company has over my phone. Not only has nothing ever happened as a result of me using a BYOD policy, the overall rate in the industry seems acceptably low too.
I only have 24 hours in my day, I can't be worrying about things that aren't likely to effect me in any material way. I simply don't have time.
That policy relates to your whole working career.
If you somehow managed to violate the policy you will deal with the people who have the power and/or duty to enforce this policy.
What do you consider an acceptably low rate, and what is the actual rate? I hear stories all the time about companies that are tracking their employees' GPS locations. Many of the stories involve people getting fired.
What happens more often: car accidents due to speeding or people being fired because their company tracks where they are and doesn't approve? Do you still speed?
