How much privacy would i be sacrificing to have my work email on my personal phone? (lemmy.world)

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?

This is great context, thanks.

A followup question, if you don't mind. I am running stock android 14, which offers multiple users. My main user account is my personal (nothing work related), and a second user account is my work profile, complete with phone-management software. The two accounts are based upon different Google accounts.

If my work were to remote wipe, I have assumed that would only affect the (second) user profile which has those apps, and not the main user account.

Do you know if that is correct?

My understanding is that these tools offer a factory reset, so they would wipe everything. After all - if the phone is stolen, you wouldn't want to just wipe one profile and leave data within another.
