    As long as I could I stayed off of it. Then it became necessary for work to be able to post to marketplace, and I’m stuck with the app on my phone.

    I would love to somehow silo it off from me completely but I would still need to be able to reply to marketplace messages from my phone, so not sure how it’s possible.

    Sucks, but is what it is I guess. Not changing jobs over it!

      I’m in a similar situation, solution I found was using Android’s “work profile” feature. Look for an app in f-droid called “shelter”.

      Not sure about iOS though. Anyway, good luck!
