What are your thoughts on employees working from a restricted country? Taking some pto and then working a majority of the time they are there?? Yay or nay?

They need to fire people working from Cle Elum. I am amazed our IT lets this happen!
Obviously you're not in networking or security or you'd know that your origin will be tracked no matter how clever you are with VPN usage. Some of the software on your company machine will rat you out and lock your accounts.
If you're taking PTO why are you working?
Liar. You want to go home to a restricted country (India? China?) and use PTO and then stay there for another month working "remotely". Because you don't want to spend 2 days getting there and 2 days coming back over your 2 weeks of PTO.
I stopped taking my work computer home during my last 2 years with TMO. I traveled with my personal laptop. If they wanted me for a question or something they could call or text, but I wasn't going to do any work.
Some of us got tired of hearing VP's like Abdul call PTO "Pretend Time Off".
You will get your NT locked
Can't just up and leave to a different country and work from there. There are policies which need to be followed. As long as policies are being followed then I see no issue, especially if it doesn't affect me. I won't involve myself in things which don't involve me.
You can't work from abroad more than 2 weeks in a calendar year as per the company policy. And you can't take yoir laptop with you, only a specially configured loaner laptop.
I understand T-Mobile's position in here. With all this crazy hacking, safety measures have to be put in place.
