I get this when connecting to 'The Cloud' Wi-Fi service that seems to be available in lots of places, including my local bar. I can connect to it, but can't browse anything...the tablet tells me I have a local-link IP.

Your work network is probably tied down so people can't just tap into the signal. Do you have the right credentials to use it?

They could have blocked your MAC address or there's something interfering with the wi-fi signal itself, something using the same freq as the channel the wi-fi router/ap is on.
Quite frankly, if this is a wi-fi setup for internal use only and it's NOT requiring encrypted VPN with MAC-address filtering and username/password login via RADIUS on a WPA2-enabled access point or router then I would question the sanity and security credentials of your IT staff.
