Yes, but rarely. Usually in "high security" businesses worried about exfiltration of client data or other company secrets & data assets, when it is done. Basically they give you a work network extension at home that piggy-backs on your connection but keeps itself segregated from the rest of your home network (so hopefully not monitoring that, but you never know!) via VPN and managed switch/router. Like a normal VPN-from-home scenario but with more careful control/monitoring as if your location were a fuller satellite office. Potentially useful for support too, though that is a beneficial side effect rather than a reason to go to the extra effort.
