This. Too many people view work devices as “Free [ipad, laptop], bro!” and use it for all sorts of personal stuff.
It’s not yours. The company can take it at any time, or if remotely managed, view device contents at any time. If any of that material is against company policy or illegal, you’re probably gonna be disciplined or fired.
For most it’s probably NBD. Corporate won’t care if you’re just some mid-level lackey watching Netflix on the company device.
