True, but in small companies it's not uncommon.

I was at a subsidiary of a very large company and had work slack, email, and all my code on my phone, without even the thing that lets them remote wipe your phone.

It has to do with culture and willingness to put in the effort by the security organization

Get hit with one ransom ware attack and that shit'll pivot 180.

Yeah, or even just budget cuts. I am sure it's cheaper to just lock it down.

Not exclusive to IT; I had to weigh the benefits of continuing to work as a caregiver for a small company, versus working in retail for a massive chain (which translates to fantastic insurance benefits.)

Sadly not a competition.
