In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, "Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android."

Abracadabra mfer

That's some seriously awkward shit. What was the job?

Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

I'd respond "If it is required for the job, send me a business phone that has imessage". I hope that you didn't subsidize their business expense on your own dime

Nah, I had them buy me a used Mac Mini for $50. But you're right: if they made me get an iPhone it would have been on them
