A lot of modern corporate phone systems allow employees to dial through them, so the number that will show up on your phone *is* the internal number.

That's interesting - do you know if/how this can be done?

Ah, you never worked at IT or CIS student.

Idea nouns don't have payroll departments, so I never found them too lucrative.

Self-aware? You do understand what drivers mean, right?

Just because you don't know something doesn't mean you have to fish for explanations, you can use Wikipedia!

any company that allows confidential or classified data on a personal device is looking for a lawsuit by someone, and prohibits it if they are smart.

...without compensating security controls, yes I'd agree. Even so, confidential data has many different classifications - most companies consider all work email to be confidential, but far fewer require VPN or physical network access to be able to retrieve that email. Other work resources, however, often *do* require additional security when attempting to access them.

How many people can function on a tiny ass phone and be productive workers?

I'm not sure I follow you here - this whole article is about replacing phones with phones, not primary work machines with phones.

There is always an airplane mode too.

Well, not always. You deal in such absolutes!

Your classes didn't thought you how printer drivers work?

Self-aware printers require drivers?

Yea, you will not find it in Tiger Direct or NewEgg.

What are we voting on, again?

Can you name some vaporwares according to your feeling and emotions?

Why do you think they're vaporware!

When you exit a job, it is sometimes reviewed by your HR to avoid various legal matters. They have the right to go over your files.

Your employer made you print out your own files and hand them over to HR? Now you're just not making ANY sense.

You gotta log in first, buddy ;)

Yeah, exactly. I'm on Android, and within the last year our standard connection to our work Exchange server required me to accept some basic management settings (remote wiping included) just to be able to pull my mail down, no extra software needed.

Some maintain copies of your files printed or they maintain the name of print jobs forever.

Who's using printers? Are your classes requiring you to turn in printed paper or something?

There are plenty of USB policy apps that enterprises buy.

Actually, mostly vaporware, given how USB works independent of all high level software.

*Networked* printers? Like, that use paper? For what, exactly?

Troll printer salesman.

I've seen that same "never accept counter offers" reasoning before, and to some degree I agree with it, but that's assuming that the benefits of a job are entirely monetarily-based, which isn't a great way to look at employment. What if the employer giving you a counter offer is a smaller shop with less resources, but has a great work environment, your coworkers and boss are awesome, and the work you're doing is fun and interesting?

can block that device from connecting.

In that case:

what you describe is functionally no different than simply backing up company documents from your work PC to an external drive, and then leaving with that information. Or, even lower tech, just taking physical documents with you when you leave.

I don't know what your work does, but this is definitely starting to become common at many places. While I certainly don't want to relinquish admin control over my personal phone, I also like the the ability to remotely connect to work resources without needing to carry around two phones.
