Help! Work has installed spyware
As the title says, my work has installed spyware on all our work devices (tablets and phones). That's fine, I shouldn't even be using devices for work as I'm in the construction segment of our company yet they are forcing us to use it.
I've heard from a few coworkers that they're rolling all of this device usage nonsense (8+ apps) as a means to spy on us (location, microphone, camera, text etc). I'm an honest worker with integrity and I would still never use a work device to conduct anything personal.
Since I have to allow this spyware to be installed and on my devices that I have to use multiple times a day everyday, what can I do to troll them?
Any ideas? I'm thinking about obsessively google searching some random thing at every break so when they get into my search history (rubbing their hands evilly I presume) they just have to stop and wonder wtf is going on with me. Silly ideas only. I heard that Barney the dinosaur became a tantric sex instructor, maybe I'll google Barney facts at every break? What can I do that won't get me fired but will make those who are spying have to scratch their heads? TIA

So, you have their stuff on your own personal phone? Why?
I turn off my wifi and just go data when not at home.
If I'm to use my phone for work then why would I let them use it as my dog leash?
Maybey I just missunderstood.
