Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16?
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 14 hours agoFun fact: I work in municipal government and they started making us use 2-factor that sent messages to our cell phones. That came back to bite us when we got an Open Records request that included a request for text messages between staff containing specific keywords. Employees who didn’t have a city-issued phone and hadn’t been using their personal phones for work got pretty upset when I had to take their phones and search their text histories.
And that’s how every remaining employee down to the guys running the lawnmowers in the parks department got a monthly phone stipend.

You mean “had been using their personal phones”? Or you had to take their personal phones regardless? In which case the phone stipend wouldn’t have mattered? Makes me think some people might just pocket the stipend and then be upset when the same thing happens again, so maybe you should just issue phones lol.

Lots of employees did keep the stipends as a pay bonus, but then it was on them if they used their personal phones for work and they got caught up in Open Records.
