Nope. I could be contacted over Skype for Business if they chose to do so, but that hasn't happened yet.

No. I work with young people a lot and used to share my personal Facebook with them, but not anymore either. Work stays at work, at least as much as I can keep it there.
Yes but I chose to do it as a convenience. My work didn't tell me to do it. But I like to be able to access my work email while away just in case I need to. Luckily I never get bothered by anyone when I'm not at work.
Hell no.
They got my time when I'm working. When I close my laptop and step out of the office, I'm done.

Yes
My company pays my cell phone bill
I just check work email which is just mainly to see if there's any announcements or if my team members give me an update on if they are missing work or not
There's nothing else on it and I don't make afterhour calls so it's not a issue

No. If I'm not at work don't bother me. I'll get back to you. If it's urgent you can call my cell but I ain't looking at no email.
If I were y'all you may want to think about what kind of access your IT folks might have to your personal devices given the shit you're installing on them and the networks you're on as well.

I used to not, but it's really helpful having my calendar on my phone and the only way to do that is to put Outlook on it. It's also nice being able to set out of office and other things without having to VPN into my email like I would from a computer.
I'm strict about not doing anything work related outside of work hours tho. Fuck that noise. Also all notifications turned off. My work si good about that though, I'm *never* bothered by work outside of work hours / work days.

I have to for my job, but it's email only and I haven't given out my cell phone number to receive texts. Plus, I get an extra $100 stipend to go towards my cell phone bill.
Nope. If I want to be contacted about work outside of work I bring the work laptop home with me.
I do, but I completely ignore it unless it's a random emergency type of thing that I just happen to see on notification. It's rarely happened though.
Most annoying thing is I end up having to mute a lot of company wide emails that get a lot of replies. That can be pretty annoying.

I did used to but I found it was causing me to bring too much stress and anger home with me so I deleted all work accounts from my personal devices. If people want my help then they'll only get it during work hours.
I used to but then I put a custom ROM on my phone and my enterprise noped out of that pretty quickly.
They have my phone number for emergencies. That's it.

I work in retail and if I got emails or messages on my personal phone it would be in the garbage 5 minutes later.
was given the choice for a $75 stipend or work phone. Got the work phone to keep things separate
My boss and a couple of colleagues have my number if anything pressing comes up, but I believe I've only gotten texts once or twice for this.
I use my personal phone for work, so yes.
That being said I don't have email on my phone since it requires me to lock down my phone in annoying ways. I only have the messaging program we use and my work contacts texting me. That works to filter out the chaff.

I have Slack on my phone that has notifications turned off and I only use it to report a sick day.
As soon as 5:30pm rolls around I don't look at work stuff again until 9am the next morning. I don't have a work phone or any work accounts on my personal phone. I can't imagine doing work outside of the paid hours of my contract, I know tons of people who do - but that's just not how I work.
At my old job I gave out my personal number to a lot of customers to try and provide good service and eventually it got abused. At my new job I got a separate work phone and keep them entirely separate although my bosses have my personal number in case of emergency.
I use my phone to work when I'm on the road , but I make it a point to not have my outlook on my phone include work emails. I end up manually logging into office on the web browser and do work through that if I have to. Would rather not deal with work related emails popping up after work hours.
Yes. I have Slack and Zoom installed, but for email, I'll still use shitty web Outlook. I just don't want to cede admin rights to my device in order to use Exchange.
Yes, but I only use those parts when I work. I don't check slack at home for example, if I log out for the day, I am logged out. They would have to call me for an emergency or something, has not happened yet, 12 years and counting.
This is where I'm at, too. I work from home twice a week, and leave at the office around 4. I'll gladly leave work early to see my family and check e-mails after my kid is asleep.
