i suggest block play services in your main profile and let it be enabled for some apps in your work profile. via shelter app.

Or disable/remove them. Don't even need root for that. There's always microg if an app really needs them.

thats an awesome idea! much thanks for the info!

personal insight preinstall (for ppl reading this):

i had tried mcroG once upon a time(many years ago). it didnt work for me.
possible reasons:

installation:
https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Installation "Install GmsCore.apk" , "Install GsfProxy.apk"
"Please review the Prerequisites and Helpful Information before starting installation."

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Prerequisites
"Your System needs to support signature spoofing, see Signature Spoofing" , "[You need a ROM that supports signature spoofing.]"

conclusion:
-need to follow the specific installation instructions.

according to the docs.. u need a custom rom(distro ie lineageOS on a supported device.)
