Pretty much the same here. I loved it when we they finally allowed us to implement content filtering at work. Our internet utilization was cut in half on the first day. Before that we really only blocked the porn sites and some other explicit stuff.
us too. then marketing needed no filters, then commercial lenders we're slowly unblocking everyone

Depends on what kind of phone it is and how it is managed. Emails are always easy to get to if need be. On a mobile phone, your phone is just another access point to the corporate email. Regardless of how you access it, we control the email no matter what.
We have wiped out people's personal iPhones though with the exchange wipe utility before. We have a strict no personal phone policy when it comes to accessing corporate email. Only company provided phones have this privilege. We warn users before hand if we detect they are trying to setup up their mail on their personal phone. If they ignore our requests to stop we can use the wipe phone utility to remove all personal and email information.

I mean, it's all accessible. It's just a matter of is there any reason for that information to actually be pulled up

We all wait for the day that TD.com is applied to the filter.

I had to fire a guy about 15 years ago for sending profanity laced messages to some local sports radio stations message board. Funny thing... he didn't actually use real words... he used creative spelling to get around work filters. The radio station contacted IT, IT contacted HR and HR contacted me. Didn't leave me an option as the idiot was already on 3 months probation (had only like 2 weeks left) for running up a $4,500 bill on his company Amex card and then not being able to pay it. He did good work, he just lacked clear judgment at times.
It did, of course, give me a bit of a scare when HR called and wanted to meet with me and the network IT guy. In the HR office.

This isn't really scary but something I'd guess most IT folks deal with. Most users are notoriously poor at managing their own e-mail. Some folks feel they must keep every e-mail going back to the dawn of the internet.

I did that once as well. Let quite a few people know what I thought about a situation. "Recall this e-mail" really doesn't work to well if some of the people you've sent the email to have already read it.

I don't get this.
I don't understand why everyone feels the need to take pictures of everything they do, and save it digitally.
Why can't past human interactions simply live peacefully in people's memories?

Isn't that what you are supposed to do? I mean, if they are important, you'll want to use them again, right?

I'm talking about texts and pictures i have on the phone, not just my company email on my phone.
we can use our company phones as personal phones. I have idiot friends that have sent me porn pics or personal emails with nsfw stuff in the past. fortunately they've grown up since and i don't get crap like that anymore.
I don't look up porn on my phone, but i can if i wanted to. how could you access that or anything else i do on my phone outside of company emails without having the phone?>

Yea... you wouldn't want "questionable material" to end up on your hard drive.

Not in IT, but I have a few stories from previous jobs where I have talked with our IT help.
Obviously Porn was blocked, but I was at a CPA firm and anyone that did work outside of the office was issued a laptop instead of a desktop. That was the whole audit department, and some of our consulting group. And a select few in the tax department that worked in other areas as well. It was a big firm with a bunch of partners, but was named after the original few that started it.
IT guy tells us that one of the partners, one of the ones with his name on the building, brings him a laptop, and tells him to fix it. It was loaded with viruses from downloading porn from home or somewhere. The IT guy said that this partner said "I know what's wrong with it, and I know how it got there, I just need it fixed or throw it away and order me a new one, and never speak of this to anyone." I guess he didn't get the last part of that.
And at a smaller firm I worked for, they decided to block all personal email sites, Yahoo and Google chat, and facebook. Said there was just too much time spent on those sites by the younger staff. I was active with the shareholders and management despite not being a manager, but I oversaw the staff's work since I was in a supervisor role due to my experience, so it was funny to hear the grumblings from the back offices where the staff sat when they couldn't facebook and g-chat all day.

I can see what web sites you visit.
If I were a bad person, I could destroy the company with a few mouse clicks.
Scary enough ?
I have been saying for a while that I have too much power and we need to take some steps so that if I ever leave the company someone else can't just come in and wreak havoc.
They will recover from your act of intellectual terrorism and you will lose everything and/or go to jail. that's factual and actual.
