One of my colleges had MDM enabled for staff and students alike. (I realize this is likely a configuration problem, rather than malice or whatever)

The number of students who, nonetheless, did it… mind boggling.

Remote wipe? Lawl fuck no. Not worth the risk that some asshole has a bad day and wipes them all for fun.

I can understand it for certain things but.. frankly there should be some sort of like.. laws? About what your employer can require of you. Sure, company phone go for it, idgaf. But if they would need to remote wipe a device, maaaaaaaybe they shouldn’t be allowed to let employees use their own. You want full control, company, you get to pay for that with another phone, phone line, etc. (extra bonus, most people won’t carry the work phone when they are off work, so they are less reachable for unpaid labor :) )
