Things like this may happen, or they might want to claim ownership of everything done on those devices. Hell they could even be tracking what you're doing on them. Same goes the other way, your devices are yours, if you need a computer/phone/tablet for your job, your work should provide one. I see too many people happy to use their own devices at work so they don't have to ask for things.
