Hi, i recently went on youtube and it had automatically logged me on to my work gmail account without me realising. This was on my personal ipad. Can work see what i searched for? I was not on their network.

Yes.

I have deleted my you tube history. Can they still see my history?

1 thread would have been enough for your questions.

Does someone at work have access to your "work" google account?

Let's rule out a couple of things here:
1 - You were browsing from your personal iPad, so no one at work has access to that device. They aren't going to pull data off of it.
2 - You were not browsing from their network, so they won't have logs if they have something doing monitoring and reporting on web browsing.

If your boss or someone else at work has access to your google account that was used, then at some point they did have access to your Youtube history. If you deleted your Youtube history, then they might not have access anymore. I don't know much about youtube account privacy settings.

Yes.

This is incorrect, if you were on a personal device and not on their network they have no way of tracking you

Agreed, an account is still just that, an account, and I assume no one has your password to this account. I don't use a google system for our work e mail, so I suppose I can't say with iron clad certainty, but no one would have your password and as such, can't access your account directly. I doubt there are administrative tools that would allow seeing searches performed by employees.

In most cases, as was stated, you would have had to have been on one of their computers, on their network to see logs of sites accessed or searches performed.

I'd say with relative certainty, your employer cant see your searches.

Unless he is using his personal device to get corporate email via Good, MobileIron, etc. Then work does have access to your personal device even when its not on the corporate network.
