I know a guy whose former employer used the fact that he plugged a USB into his work machine to threaten to sue him unless he gave up severance when they layer him off.
Don’t use your work machine for anything other than work, ever. Assume it logs everything, assume it will all be used against you as needed.
Assume if you write it on that machine they’ll try and claim it as their IP.
