I’ve heard of people doing that but I can’t understand how they can because my work would have an absolute fit if I took the laptop out of the country. I connect to the service through a VPN so I really can’t see what their problem is and the country I live in and the company I work for and even in the same country already.
It depends a lot on what you do and how chill your employer is. This one was an IT outsourcing company and I was taking support calls from multiple other companies. Officially calls were routed to an office with a call centre, and that’s what clients were shown, but most of us preferred to WFH. The clients obviously knew it’s outsourcing but sometimes their employees didn’t. Sometimes I had to make them think they were calling ABC Inc’s tech department. So the only “rule” was not to openly talk about it. We could be in “another building” but still be working for their employer. Just don’t say that the “other building” is your summer house. Being in IT with that outsourcing company have let me get away with a lot of things that normally wouldn’t be allowed if I would have been an employee of their clients.
