Keep in mind: your company may allow you to surf the interwebs while you are at work, but you are using company property to surf. IE: They own the computer, but allow you to use it for personal surfing.

Do they track everything? They certainly can. It is their firewall that you are sending packets through out to the world wide web.

Will they sniff your id's and passwords? Unlikely, as that would land your company into a world of trouble.

It boils down to this: how much do your trust your company's data protection capability? Are the systems down because you are constantly getting hacked? Is the network stable, no problems, and no issues with hackers? Become friends with your IT staff (we don't bite - really!), and they may be able to provide the answers to these questions...
