USB Stick protection

Hi, my question is similar but not exactly the same as some here regarding some sort of protection on my USB. There are files that i have saved on it from my work laptop but when i try to open and save them on my personal computer it says the USB drive is empty. It is not though for as soon as i try it on my work computer it opens up all of the files i';m trying to move across. I've tried properties but there;s nothing to "untick" any items. And there is no switch on the side or anywhere on the actual stick itself. i'd provide info on the make/brand but it has my company's logo everywhere. Thanks in advance if you can at all help!
