I asked if we put our email accounts on our phones to be able to answer after hours, my supervisor said very few people are given access to emails on their phones.

I am fine with the switch, I used to get 40-60 emails to sort through a day. Now I will be doing maybe 5-10 a day and only 3 or 4 might actually be for me and I only have an 8 hour day with no after hours meetings.

Sounds like a pretty big win to me? Who answers emails after hours, yuck

I'm going from a 24/6 bigger city operation to a mon-fri 7-430 operation in a small town. It is a huge win for me.

Congrats! That sounds like a great change.

They must have some intense data retention policies. You can configure compliance levels to allow anyone into their Outlook acct using the app without any special permissions pretty easily.

Good on them to cut down access like that

But ... why?

Outlook on phones works well enough. Was it some security measurement or something?

I mean it doesn't matter to me, I don't want to take my work home with me and I'm close to the computer while I'm at work.

It is normally a security thing. Unless the company has managed mobile devices, you don’t want company data on a personal cell phone.

Now I wonder if there's a correlation between companies using Microsoft package being companies less obsessed with crunch culture...
