You are not required to use your personal Apple ID at work. It just means you’ll carry separate devices, and most don’t want that inconvenience (including me). It also makes it harder to debug real world scenarios if you only test on non-real world data.

As an aside, Facebook has all employees use their personal FB account for work purposes, logins, group memberships etc.

You need a Facebook account. It's okay to create a new account for work purposes only.

Facebook doesn't allow 2 accounts for the same person for account security reasons. This is also why they tried to get so aggressive with checking ID cards to create facebook accounts. So either you delete everything from your personal account before linking, or link it as is.
