Really? You never log into your bank's website to take care of something? Or pull up your personal email, or read a sleazy blog once in a while?

I don't use my work network for banking, no, because IT monitor and proxy everything and I don't trust the IT dept. Mostly for personal stuff I use my iPhone. Not really any need to use a work computer for that. I don't read "sleazy blogs" at work, in fact I'm not even sure what you mean. If you mean porn, then ewww, no. If you mean things like techcrunch, theverge or hn (which aren't sleazy) then sure, I read those, but i don't need privacy for that.

if I did use the work computer for personal email, It's not like people are sitting on top of each other and 12pt fonts can be read.

This seems to me like kids and their sense of entitlement. Goof off if you want, all you want, but don't expect the company to provide you with privacy just so you don't have to feel bad about it.
