There is an argument to made that you shouldn't be looking at your personal bank accounts or medical records on a work computer, particularly if you work at a company that cares so little about their employees that they'd implement a system like this.

It's not so much that the company cares so little about their employees, but that they have so many responsibilities for the data and systems they are entrusted with.

Seriously, though - what everyone I know does in this situation does is just bring their own laptop into work for personal stuff, and treats the work console for precisely that - work activity.

Is this common?

I have a few coworkers that bring in personal laptops and have them sitting right next to the work laptop. It absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it. It would have been unheard of at my previous employers and probably gotten you called into an office.
