What it is

Sets up device to be managed by EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management), which "allows organizations to securely enable employee use of mobile devices".

Might also be what does the actual management on your device, if you set it up as a work device.

Only seems to run on boot(not in the background after boot) if you haven't set up your device as a work device.

I tried to disable it through UAD, but nothing happens? Seems immune to disabling?

Contains 4 services: GcmJobService, GservicesChangedObserverService, AppMeasurementService and FirebaseInstanceIdService.

GCM(Google Cloud Messaging) was the backend for Android's push messaging system 2012-2019, after which it was replaced by FCM(Firebase Cloud Messaging). I assume the GCM/Firebase connection is for Push notification functionality.

The MANAGE_CARRIER_OEM_UNLOCK_STATE permission hints at doing something with carrier locks?

Needs Google Play Services to function?

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig

Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
