At my work it’s just an intranet with no outside email access. Only the store manager has that. You also are not allowed to plug in USBs to anything. So if you want something printed that was not emailed on the Interoffice mail, you have to email it to the store manager.
They said store so I assume they work in retail. Why would a retail employee need a company email? And not allowing people to plug in USB sticks into an intranet (especially with POS machines) is just standard operating procedures.

I guess you either work for a company with highly sensitive data, or the IT people are overdramatizing a tad bit.
I also believe that IT security is important, but it should remain reasonable.
Sounds to me like more of a power play by management than a sensible security concept.

Not to mention the hassle of a networked printer… Trained personnel only!
