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?

+1 to being out of contact – It can honestly wait until the next time you’re near a work computer. (I’m hoping a work laptop or something is involved here.)

Yeah, i have a work iPad with me most of the time, so it should ding if it's getting Wi-Fi, but it's usually in my backpack. Also, i know they can track the location of it so i sometimes leave it at home on purpose. Would forwarding my work emails to a gmail or proton account be an option?

Forwarding your work email to a different service provider will probably violate PII and will also set off some flags.

I give it 100% chance of it being a problem.
