If it's a work device it contains no privacy

Only really a concern for those who mix work and personal on the same device. If the boss insists on having management software they can pay for the device, it's not touching my personal one.

In all cases involving work devices, the default assumption should be that the company can see anything you're doing on it at any time.
This is why I carry two phones.
Years ago, almost two decades, I setup a Screensaver which basically took any image passed over the network and made a collage. Almost everything was like website banners and such.
One day I was in the server room doing something un-related and in the corner of my eye I saw some horrible images on the other screen. I immediately went to the cto who called the police.
Long story short he was immediately fired(and taken into custody) after being found in the bathroom... The images were kids between 3-7...
Before people ask, we could find out which access point he was using to determine approximate area. A quick walk around showed it wasn't someone at there desk. Obviously they wouldn't be in a meeting and there was only 1 set of bathrooms in that area. Female officer went into women's room and reported it empty. Male officer went into men's room and found 1 person, court case revealed history on his phone and yeah... Hopefully he's still rotting in jail.
Well that's horrifying.
Glad you guys caught the bastard.
With the same consequence, you should also assume location, audio and video to be not be private when carrying these devices
This is why I leave my work phone at work.
The default assumption everyone had was E2EE message data like RCS would be private.
Even apple does not share imessage data unless the Apple ID belongs to the employer.
Why would google do such stupidity is beyond me. But, yes on android assume everything is tracked 24/7. Trust your personal phone only.
It is. It can't be snooped on by third parties. The person that owns and controls your device is not a third party. In this case, that is your employer.
