    Well then, lemme give you something more specific to look into:

    Most Android Phones kinda hide the option to turn the Work-Profile on. But it is implemented at the core of android and should really be available on any android device thats from the last 5 years.

    Once you turn it on once you will be always able to see it. And you will also get one of those buttons available in your notification center. Just like those, that turn on and off your Wifi - this one will turn on your work profile. Or off - if Off, alllll the apps installed in the work profile will be disabled completely until you enable the work profile again.

    Very handy for splitting private and work stuff - since you can just turn off work profile when you walk out of the office and wont be bothered anymore.

    Lets get to the turnings thing on part:

    You simply need one app to activate the work profile.

    “Shelter” –> this app is not on the google playstore.

    This app is in the F-Droid Store. Since this is also a new thing lemme explain this real quick. F-Droid is an store just like Google Play Store. You can download and install apps from there. It comes as an app for your device, or you can just simply browse it in the webbrowser and download the apps you want from it from there. The F-Droid Store is well known in the Opem Source Community and is the Go-To Place if you want privacy respecting apps. - I am saying this to make sure you can trust this new and to you unknown store.

    Soooo. Back to the topic. Download either the complete F-Droid Store and in this app then search for the “Shelter” app - or simply download the shelter app once from the Website of F-Droid directly. Keep in mind if you go with the downloading F-Droid route: on its first launch, F-Droid will take ~30 secs to update its repositories and you wont find any apps in the search menu. So let it stay put for a few secs before starting your search.

    To make it as less of a hassle as possible ill go forward and describe the route where we will install the app directly from the website.

    1. Go here: https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/
    2. Click download F-Droid (for the full F-Droid Route)
    3. Or simply download “Shelter” directly by looking furhter down at the latest App Versions. Scroll down one of the paragraphs until you see the Linked Text “Download APK” (or similar - i have the UI on german, so idk what exactly the text will be. Just look for “APK”)
    4. Once its downlaoding and you have made sure your browser actually downloads it (chrome warns you about downloading APKs)
    5. Click the install/open button on the just downloaded APK.
    6. It will say that the setting for enabling app installation from untrusted sources is turned off right now - and the reason why it cannot be installed.
    7. Go to your system settings and search for “sources” – it should get you right to this exact setting. Turn it on/enable it.
    8. Go back to your browser and click install again. Then you will be prompted/asked if you want to enable, that your Browser is capable of installing APPS. Accept that – later you can disable both of those settings again. On this path we only need them for the initial installation.
    9. The app should be installed now.
    10. Search for the “Shelter” app in your app menu and open it.
    11. It will prompt you lots of stuff and explain many things. Read through them. It wont take long but will make you understand how it works better.
    12. Once set up - look for the play store app in the work profile. If you cant find it - use the Shelter app to clone apps from your personal profile to the work profile - such ass the playstore, or simply install the Cisco app once in normal profile and clone it over to work. Then delete it again from the normal profile. Though i would prefer getting the playstore and getting cisco directly from there - since this way you will auto-recieve updates and such.
    13. Learn to use work apps and how to disable them (look for the previously mentioned toggle in your notification center - you might have to edit this zone to find the button hidden under those not displayed by default)
    14. At this point you can install your apps for your work profile and disable your browser from being allowed to install apps and disabling the “apps from third party sources” option all together. (Though this one only, if you didnt choose the Full F-Droid installlation path. If you chose the full install path, this option will be neccesary for F-Droid to install updates in the future)

    I hope this helps ya!

    Tbh. Its highly unlikely that you will face anything that disrupts business and can prove it being from this machine.

    Even if you get hit by a trojan that encrypts everything: if you have AV on clients and servers and update their databases regularely, noone could or would blame a dude thats 3 months in the job for it. I mean you have no prior experience. Thats also why i would not try to escelate it further. You will get fucked by management if you fall in the back of a higher ranking position. They dont appreciate people calling stuff like this out. Especially in small family owned businesses. Trust me. I’ve been there.

    You will most likely find even more hazards in the future. If it gets worse, make a list. If you can, put in the CVE Codes and their explanation about the issue and the potential risks.

    Put it in a monthly report-email regarding IT Topics. Also put different stuff in there, so you dont only appear to be whining about the system that they obviously have been taking care of in a lackluster way. This way you show that you are doing your job for the case that there might actually be a hazard and if they ask, you can simply point to your monthly report and say you did your best and did not get enough ressources/coworkers/ or the so very much needed new Firewall Appliance.

    In terms of futur vision: write up your daily systems you work with. I’ll make some examples for your Resume:

    • Config- and Patchmanagement of
    • ~ 30 Windows 10 clients via WSUS and SCCM
    • ~ 10 Windows Server 2019 Systems via WSUS
    • ~ A Veeam/Synology/In-House Built Backup Solition
    • Ubiquiti Firewall and AP Solitions
    • Management of Microsoft SQL/Oracle/MariaDB Database Replications
    • Management of an small scaled AD Environment with ~ 80 self created Objects
    • GPO Policy Management
    • Management of a Microsoft Exchange Sever Cluster
    • …

    And so on.

    Also make a second list with projects, what your role in them was (most likely project lead), and what situation you had and the target. Also in which timeframe you are working on it (March/2024 - Today)

    Don’t tell anybody that you are keeping your eyes out for a new job. Wait till you have landed a new job with administration work (dont do First-Layer Support Jobs. They get you stuck on your career ladder)

    Also have a look at job portals like Kununu and check Ratings of companies. Since you are already in a kind of dispute with your boss I would suggest to not leave a review of your current workplace, whilst you still work there. Attention would be immediately brought to your end.

    Also: if you are bad at creating a resume. Use an online builder. Job portals offer them. Be advised though, recruiters will already call the number that you type in there even before you are done typing your resume. rxResume is and FOSS Resume Builder. Can be selfhost or simply used by the Publicly hosted variant.
