I used to have Teams and Outlook on my phone, so I was accessible for work at almost any time. I know a lot of people think that's dumb, but I was an hourly employee so I never minded the occasional work ping after hours, since I didn't mind getting paid to reply with a few sentences from my couch. It worked out well for both me and my company.
Then they decided to make MDM mandatory on your phone to access Teams and Outlook. I declined the install and removed both apps from my phone. Now I can easily miss IMs for weeks at a time if I don't open a 2nd laptop to check them. I'm more disconnected than I've ever been, which is probably better for my mental health. I don't bill as much as I used to, but that's fine for me.
