    My policy has always been if you want me to use your crap, you provide the hardware. And if they still insist, they get to live with their garbage running inside a VM.

    There’s exactly 0% chance I’m letting corporate spyware touch my data or have full access to my hardware. Between being able to lock down the operating system and remotely wipe the device, that shit cannot be trusted.

      Solid thinking! I have the same philosophy but I’m in a place where I need bread. Even if the company didn’t provide the hardware, I still took the job. But I do care about privacy so much, I took all the steps necessary to make sure I’m not letting them inside my computer. Luckily they don’t have us use any of their softwares, and the only things I have to use is a corporate email inside chrome. And I’m running all of this on a spare old laptop, not my main personal computer.

      You could say that you don’t own a compatible device. What are they going to do? At that point you likely will get issued a work laptop.
