I’m non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we’ve just used the outlook app with no real issues that I’ve noticed. We’re seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?
People have already answered well enough though many of them mention IP addresses and you said you were non techy so wanted to add this
Giving away your IP address is not that big a deal, you do it every time you visit a website without a VPN or connect to pretty much any web service
(You still shouldn’t post it publicly of course but it’s unlikely your employer is going to dox you, and if they do it’s probably illegal)

Not if you cross reference the IP with data leaks on the deep web, revealing way more or other personal info

They already know everything about me. I just want to be left alone to do my job without being tracked for how many minutes i spend working from home.
I don’t imagine the app can do that anyway unless you explicitly give it permission to run in background at all times
