Exchange "remote wipe" is a terrible, terrible bug
Those sons of bitches.
The day after I left AOL, I woke up to find my Blackberry restored to factory defaults. No warning, no exit interview heads up, no courtesy notification, no dinner, soft music, candlelight or lubrication. Lesson learned.
I’m a pretty accessible guy. I don’t stop answering the phone or email at 5pm. I don’t mind being so available because my lackadaisical approach to work-life balance has never been abused. After that experience, though, I decided that if I ever work for a company that deploys this Draconian policy to mobile devices accessing corporate email then the company has two choices:
- Provide me with a dedicated work phone at their expense
- Deal with me no longer being available at their convenience
What’s that they say about having your cake and eating it too?
