From the timeline:

> got my Macbook Pro from work and signed in to my Apple ID on it.

Wouldn't this result in unintentional data sharing from the work device to your personal devices? (and vice versa)

Yes, do not do this.

In hindsight, yes that was a bad move (especially considering that my work laptop is still locked to my banned ID…)

As an Apple noob at the time, I assumed that if my MDM-managed device prompted me to log in with my Apple ID, that it of course would be an allowed action.

With regards to data being shared, the only thing I noticed was wifi passwords and peripherals pairing (apple keyboard).

Yeah, I would never do this. My work iPhone is on a whole separate Apple Id than my personal phone.

Never mix work and personal. It isn't worth it.

It's enabled in some corpos. Allows one to make AirPods auto-jump between one's iPhone and work laptop etc.
