Why would they need to keep an eye on my email client?
Also, the only other time i’ve had any interaction with IT was when they got me a new laptop, they spent forever registering it in some management system for windows machines so they would have full control over it, no admin privileges, no installing anything at all without going over to them and asking nicely
The moment i got my hands on it i wiped it and installed linux, they haven’t had any work related to me except the work they’ve created for themselves
Changes in TOS, vulnerabilities, just to name the two biggest. Also, asset management is a must in any mid and large companies. For many reasons. Also a work device isn’t private property. No admin rights should absolutely be the standard.
