For example, when it comes to allowing users access to an application like Twitter in the workplace, several questions need to be asked: 1) Is it relevant to the user's job? 2) If not, will having it affect their ability to do their work? 3) Might they post something damaging to the company, whether it be negative comments, or posting sensitive data? 4) Should the company have the ability to monitor what the user is reading/posting?
This collection of questions regarding a single app touches on security, privacy and performance. But "privacy" in the workplace is related to what a user can keep from an employer that will prevent that employer from bullying them, or leveraging information to cause a relationship to happen or to get work from the user that is not part of the contract of work as understood by standard practices (see Richard Stallman's take).
But for my part, I think you should not be able to install applications on your work-related computer if that is not part of the culture, especially if you work for a hospital, security firm, financial institution, and so on, because bringing your personal life to work does, and I stress does, impact the security and performance of your work.
Workplace privacy? Sure, if you like to dress in drag your boss doesn't need to know; but you also don't need to be letting that information out while at work over email, texts, Tweets or any other method that sits on company property meant for getting your job done. Know the difference, be responsible at work.
And if your employer insists on you enjoying all those perks, you may want to double-check your computer for spy-ware, or at least make sure your privacy is guaranteed on paper, because you have just opened yourself up to a slip that could later cost your job.
