    1. Clarify the app is required by the company (hr) for your job duties as mentioned when it was stated every employee’s responsibility to ensure the work site is open via a phone app. They’ll be happy to confirm that.

    2. Go see your master agreement about tools supplied by company. That will be in even passable contracts because it’s usually an audit issue.

    3. Ask company for tool as per contract. “This device here is not a work device and is neither secured nor managed by I.T.” was what we said.

    4. Ask your shop steward to ask the union to explain to the company that their HR is demanding the use of tools the company will not then provide, which is a concern under section 17p5b.1 “proper tools and training as provided during workday for onsite work required by employees”

    If they’re dicks you can try to hit them up for training on how to use the phone.

    Teams is why we all have fancy pixel7 company-issued phones. TEAMS. And, since only one guy is on standby after-hours, the rest of them are shut off at 4:49 pm. So lame.

      So we’ve been down that road. There are company computers available for that purpose, and training has been provided. It’s a joke we tell each other around here that the only training we get is on the app.

      For the handful of folks who are legally prohibited from having a smart phone, the state has requirements in place that they be notified of any schedule changes in advance, they’re often the first to know.

      The CEO frequently holds little meetings and fields questions, that’s the next route.

      I don’t know what they were sold or why they’re so insistent that we download the app, but their feverish insistence that we download it sure makes me suspicious.
