At least in the case of Walmart it’s more that the “work PCs” are many people’s personal phones. They’ve pushed employees to install work software with very invasive privacy permissions in lieu of providing dedicated handheld devices, you may notice this if you’re buying something age-restricted at self checkout and the clerk scans a QR code instead of entering an id on the terminal.
What the heck. How are they at that point not paying for the phone. Nope nope nope.
A lot of people seem to feel entitled to space on others phones. I guess businesses included.
No they provide phones for the employees, at least in my area.I think it's up to choice, and the fact that the employees don't know.
