My place of work tried to enact a policy to install a communications software package on personal devices so we can communicate "in case of emergency". I went to legal and said do you really want to go down this path? The rescinded the policy the next day.
I have precisely one manager who had my phone just in case I needed her to adjust my schedule, and I warned her if she gave it to ANYONE I'd block her, them, and anyone else. Also refuse to put any work app on my phone and told them if they want me to use an app to do my job they need to provide the device that runs it.

the infamous "You can choose how expensive this gets" moment. Always a great one

I can’t believe they would even try that. If they want an emergency communications system then they can provide you with a cellphone at their expense.
