In my personal experience, yes.

There is an unbelievable amount of sensitive data, whether corporate or personal, unencrypted on network shared drives and laptops across corporate America.

I'm pretty much a lay person when it comes to security, so I don't know generally how safe or unsafe that is. But there is definitely a sense that, as long as you don't get phished, everything on-prem is basically "secure" and IT is just taking care of it.

For example my employer had strict rules about data that can be stored on a cloud service, but less-strict rules about data that can be stored on an on-prem network drive.
