WTF? What country? Even at jobs where I was given a phone no one felt like ditching their personal devices.

I suspect its a millenial thing....

A few of us old guys keep personal devices.... Our young colleages just expect the company to provide devices for them and never have to buy their own

Decent used laptops are quite affordable. I recently scored one on Ebay for under $100. It runs Linux and everything is snappy.
