Regardless, times I've tried to get access to work stuff on my phone I stopped because I had to agree to let my entire device be remotely wiped if they chose to. I had absolutely zero faith that they wouldn't accidentally do it as a matter of procedure if/when I left the company so I didn't do it.

Not to mention the possibility of a disgruntled IT person deleting everything they can on their way out. Sure, it would be a whole can of worms for that person and they might regret it because of the consequences, but that wouldn't bring my data back. Same if it was done accidentally because of incompetence.
