Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to (lemmy.ca)

Even if those options were enabled for you on the user level and you deleted your history, believe that they still can see it. The firewall, alone, tracks traffic like this and stores it as logs and then there’s all sorts of third party software that companies use exclusively for monitoring. Web history is your least of concerns with what some of those can track.
