    Not sure how other people are but I couldn’t not have a smartphone for my job. Feels like that’s either a luxury for rich people or one tiny benefit for people with lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office

      I’ll just divert all my calls and texts to my wife’s phone and have my son handle all my administrative tasks. I’m also refusing to check email before noon and I decline meetings because they are not productive.

      Hang on, my wife just told me my boss says I no longer have to work at all now!

      I feel similarly. My job uses all kinds of 2FA and email-chain nonsense that pretty much require me to keep one as well. I’m starting to learn how to retrofit a special half-dumb phone to do those required things, but it’s quite a process compared to what George Clooney got to do
