It's so pathetic that people actually put up with this. There are so many ways to stop that tracking from working and no, your boss doesn't have the right to track you.
I would be chuffed if I see someone present on breaking this at Defcon this year.
If you install corporate teams on your personal device, you are part of the problem.
You must request a device for that and never mix personal and professional stuff.
Lazy and fraudulent people destroyed WFH. Should be banned forever. 20% people working, 80% slacking
Yet, when in the office, drinking coffee, watercooler smalltalk and smoking at the entrance is somehow considered work time.
Leave us alone. The output is all that matters.
Of course it does.
I don’t know that we can draw broad conclusions about worker rights on this issue.
My company probably DOES need to know that I’m not taking company information to certain locations like overseas if I work in certain industries like if I am in healthcare covered by HIPAA and I’m handling PHI.
Hyperbolic example, but if I’m taking a teams call or reading my email in North Korea, that is a gigantic problem.
Right to privacy doesn’t exist inside of employer apps and company devices, and there isn’t a strong argument that it should exist.
Of course it doesn't. (What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence).

Did you google for anything on this topic? Did you set a timer for 5 minutes and spend some time trying hard to think of one? Did you look at other countries and their regulations (e.g. Germany?[1]) and why they ended up that way?

How did companies enforce the worker not taking the files with them on their international trip? Just by punishment when it was discovered after the fact. Things worked fine. It was good enough.
There is no need for additional surveillance, just because computers and internet can be used to do it.
Indeed, but the right of an employer to have you carry their device outside of their building also doesn't exist.
