Having worked defensive infosec for almost 2 decades, the privacy-invasion-leading-to-insecure-workarounds is not my experience. (US-based, I'll grant. I'm sure my experience would be different in Germany, for example.)
As long as the inspection was transparent (which it was until the TLS 1.3 discussion started), employees mostly didn't know they were being monitored, and they didn't care even when they learned they were. Folks who got caught downloading porn or running their side-business over the work network were surprised that we were looking for that stuff, but no one felt like their privacy had been violated.
