I think the answer to the question is that clearly, using personal equipment when company equipment is available is the wrong answer. But, knowingly picking the wrong answer can be ok if you get some benefit from it. Personally, it's not too hard to keep home and work computers mostly separate; at times, I might do a smidge of work on a home computer, or a smidge of home stuff on a work computer, but hopefully it's pretty ephemeral: I don't want work content to stay on my home computer, or home content to stay on my work computer. At my last job, I was subject to legal holds all the time and compliance is easy if corporate has access to everything and I don't really need to do anything. By the same token, I had to administer legal searches of email, and sometimes that caught personal matters which nobody else needed to see (including me); avoiding that kind of access would be great. Otoh, keeping personal and work phones separate is just too hard for me. I don't want to carry two phones.
