    If there is a policy and you violated it, then HR may or may not get involved. No way for us to tell.

    Thank you for your answer. I would also add that there is a policy that covers company owned equipment.

    And the showing of images. I guess my underlying question is would it take this long for my boss to bring it up?

    I assumed there was such a policy. But if your IT department is monitoring such usage, I think it would be caught by now. On the other hand, if you have stored this inappropriate image on the phone that could cause trouble later on.

    Allow me to clarify, it was on my personal phone. At my desk. Someone likely saw, if that is the case, nothing from my boss in three weeks? My employer is very large as well.

    If something was on your personal phone and you were not showing it to anyone, but it was seen inadvertently, I would say that is something for a warning if at all.

    I will go out on a limb here because I am not very tech savvy, but we had a recent question where personal phones were "docked" on the company computer. Is that the situation here?
