All the more reason to do it IMHO :)

Spoiler alert! From the base64 encoded array in the source: ['how to appear funny', 'why are my thumbs uneven', 'am i lack toast and tolerant', 'your youre difference', 'why doesnt my poo float', 'midget google images', 'tall midgets??', 'homemade lube?', 'i hate my boss', 'what counts as fat', 'how to tell partner they fat', 'is it normal to still love my ex', 'how to get back with ex', 'penis remove dog how to', 'r…

How to reverse the damages: 1) Go to https://history.google.com/history/ 2) Select the offending searches 3) Click delete on the top right (then click delete again)

I'm pretty sure Google won't actually delete any of them from their internal profile of you though.

Do companies really MITM SSL traffic in order to watch employees surfing habits?

Are there really people that believe there's a possibility that they don't?

I am aware of at least one lawsuit against an employee in which the firm has used a Google query an employee made as an evidence.

I'm no security expert, but I was under the impression that HSTS pinning would make that hard to do, especially on sites like google.com.

And I can't quite parse your sentence to know if you're implying that all companies do... (or just that I shouldn't be so naive as to assume none are), but I can see the cert chain for google.com in my browser at ${big_company} and it doesn't seem like I'm being MITM'd.
