I don't know the ins and outs of a factory reset, but I'd rather be safe. I never use my work ipad outside of work, period. I have my own for home use.

I. wouldn't do anything on a work iPad that I wasn't supposed to do on a regular desktop or laptop computer. Her work may have locked out the ability to do a factory reset.
No, but a coworker apparently did this to his work laptop after making some pretty incriminating comments about what he was using it for and (in spite of a LOT of digging by our questionably competent IT department) he really did completely erase everything. Either that or he was lying about what he was doing on the computer, which I really doubt.
I would like to say no, but the temptation that the internet is, would just be too much for me. I would most likely use if for porn at least once. Ooops.

No, but my neighbor was fired from his job of 38 years because of his involvement in a neighborhood traffic issue. I would think he was lying, but I have seen the evidence, talked to his employees, and people who were superior to his boss. His boss used the emails he sent from work email on the neighborhood issue to have him fired. 100% directly. My DH carries two phones one for work and one for personal. If he is watching porn, it's on his personal phone of home lap top.

No way, but apparently some people at my work were doing this type of thing. Also, my work can tap into your internet history without you having to turn it in.
I'd do all but porn. Although it's not like I'm watching illegal porn, so IDK what the problem would be if they found it.
I don't actually have any work issued devices, but my mom has both a laptop and an iPad, keeps them at home only, work never ever checks in on them and she does no work on them. So it's not like IT would want/need to check in and see if she was "on task" or anything. If it was a more closely monitored situation, my answer might be different.
I don't think I ever did anything work related on my work iPad when I had one. I used it for YouTube, Hulu, Netflix etc. I don't remember watching any porn on it...but I did factory reset it when I gave it back and didn't get any sort of reprimand. The job bought me a personal iPad when I left. That one I use only for porn!
