Always had an iPad and/or laptop. A couple years ago the company I was with issued us work phones after years of just letting us expense our personal cell bills.

I never even took it out of the box. Finally got an email telling me I had to at least turn it on. Lol

For the first ~20 years of my career I had a job where someone was always there doing my job for me if I wasn’t there. I work for a very large chemical company in a 24-7 facility. 

Last year in January I took another job managing projects. I was issued a work phone and suddenly for the first time I had to get my work done even if I’m not there. I voluntarily have email on my phone and I don’t mind replying after hours but fortunately those are few and far between. I really don’t feel tethered to my job yet and most of the off hours email can be dealt with later. 

The last job I was at required 12 hour shifts and you could not leave. Talk about tethered !

Also I got tired of carrying two phones so I bought a new iPhone and had my personal cell and my work cell routed to one device. It gets kinda tricky making sure you call someone from the right number but once you have it setup it’s pretty seamless. Once you call or text somebody it will continue to use the same line unless it can’t get a signal and then it will ask if you want to use the other line.

With iPhones you can have one physical sum and then several esims. For anybody required to carry two phones it’s a real good option. If you don’t want your work number active you can just turn off that line.
