Unless your office (work) has been very restrictive on who can connect to
their domain resources - you gain very little by joining the domain with
your personal machine and they gain control of it in many ways.

You do not need to join a computer to a domain (in most cases) to access the
resources available - you just need to know your domain credentials and how
to access them through manual or scripted means (essentially - you need to
know the where/what and your username/password) - and you are in.
