Do you connect to Public Wi-Fi?

Post Body

I just got hired by a large cloud company and I'm doing the mandatory on-line training for new hires. One module about securing company data while traveling caught my attention. In short, it is instructing travelers not to connect to public Wi-Fi and to use only corporate secured Wi-Fi networks when on the road. The directive also included smart phones.

I have worked for ISPs my entire career. The Network Layer and I are old friends. I like to think I can spot a Man In the Middle attack or know only to surf to secure HTTPS site. I don't worry about using public network. But I'll ask the experts here, do you connect to public Wi-Fi? If so, do you take any precautions?
