Phones on the floor of production are a big no no here, only managers/supervisors allowed for picture taking purposes.
Otherwise most of the higher ups in offices in the plant/corp have access to the network on their phones.
We have recently had to make it mandatory for people to name their phones with their employee badge number if they want on our network. (Someone was torrenting movies)
We do not have a portal for our guest network so if it gets leaked, $5/10 bills start to get exchanged among the workers for the password and everyone has it for a short amount of time.
When I see it's above 10 or so people on the guest network I change the guest password, all other SSID's are MAC filtered.
I routinely kick people out of the DHCP pool that have generic iphone or android as a name.

so if I want to watch my private videos during bathroom time, you will know it?

I don't babysit people, but I can see all on our network. I usually don't look unless it's an abnormal amount of data being transferred in or out.
We've had this exact scenario happen before, multiple times.
My advice is to connect to your 5g service provider, and not use company networks for 2 dad content.
IT in my company is the fly on the wall in every scenario, we see/hear all. High trust environment where I can say nothing to anyone besides 1 person.
I report to a director of the board and that is it.

what is the likelihood that there is someone like you watching over everything I watch on the internet?

This is sick. You can watch what they are doing? Is this a rich company?

"Watch" is a loose term
If you're on a company PC yes we can watch exactly what you're doing.
If you're on a cell phone and on our network we "know" what you're doing.
I don't remote into anyones company PC without permission from them for the most part; I don't need it, I'm kind in that regard. I can push updates behind the scene or fix most of my issues on their PC without having to be remoted in.

It's our network, you consent and sign a piece of paper to be on it.
Why would we let anyone do anything they want on our network? lol
So we can deal with cease and desist letters, have our ISP shut us down and go to court vs Disney Pixar because someone wanted to watch "How to Train Your Dragon 2" illegally?

They shouldn't get paid for that hour if they're on their phone for any amount of time.
Problem solved, it's their choice.
