The long-term solution is simply not to work anywhere that insists on running a MITM attack on all of your communications.

Without an SSL MITM, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS's) are much less effective.

If you're using your company's network, then they have every right to monitor all of the activity on it. They're trying to protect trade secrets, future plans, customer data, employee records, etc. from attackers who would use that information to do harm to the company, its customers, and its employees. If you don't want your employer to know what you're doing, then don't use the company computer or company network to do it. And while you may think that you're too tech savvy to fall prey to malware 1) not everyone at your company is, and 2) no amount of savvy will protect you from all malware, especially ones that gain a foothold through an unpatched exploit. And there's also that whole other can of worms: malicious employees.

Put it on the endpoint. You already need protection on the endpoint to protect against malware, etc and MITM solutions only cover assets on the internal network. What about company laptops?

Pretty much all the endpoint solutions MITM exactly the same way as the middle box by running as a proxy listening on localhost. They also pretty much universally do an even worse job than the network middleboxes on handling invalid certs and supporting modern tls, hard as that may be to believe. Then you have the added nightmare of ensuring a client on tens or hundreds of thousands of enpoints is fully patched and functioning correctly.

Most of the solutions I have seen for devices outside the corporate perimeter are some combination of enforced vpn and authenticated proxy that is internet accessible.
