I have an app for programming my chicken coop. My 401k company just created an app for onboarding new participants.

These should have been mobile friendly webpages.

    My 401k company just created an app for onboarding new participants.

    “If you’d like me to run company software, you’ll have to provide a company device for me to run it on.”

    Never install work software on a personal device. Security, Privacy, Expectations (regarding personal resources).

    Along with this, never use personal software/accounts/services with company devices. You can’t be sure who’s watching and can’t be sure you’ll have a chance to remove/collect your personal data before being locked out of said device.

      That’s not their employer. It’s the company they have their 401k retirement plan with.

      Empower, John Hancock, fidelity, vanguard, whoever.

      100% this. I put my foot down at my last job after finding out their app demanded device location when it wasn’t being used.

      I got the fuck out the next week. Place is already sliding downhill fast
