Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

My team member does that. Not sure if she got any permission. Within tech. Non developer role. Family reason connected from different states.

@at lots of completely false statements here. Not sure why you would take the time to make stuff up.

@at

Oh, OK.
Be sure to let the C-suite and BOD know that they're all on the chopping block for termination, every time they log on for work from their vacation homes in Tahoe and Key West.

Ridiculous scare tactics, based on a control-freak mindset.
OP is OK to work under the circumstances stated, stop trying to freak them out.

The effort you described to surveil and reprimand would be better expended shoring-up the cybersecurity of all of the USA's corporate visa-holder employees, dual citizens, and other dubiously aligned contractors and stake-holders who have inside access to the systems.

You are required to work from home at the residence location listed on teamworks especially if you are licensed. The OSJ (office of supervisory jurisdiction) monitors remote locations for FINRA. That where the 3/2 rule comes from. That’s why they have been doing home audit for all licensed employees since returning from COVID. It’s a security issue. If you are caught working from a non approved location you could be terminated. & you absolutely cannot log in to the system if you are outside the US. Firm violation. They track locations & it shuts down access.

@a2 - Sh1t, I need to cancel my holed up week in Mozambique.

OMG is this what it has come down to? Such a sad state of affairs all you emplyees have to resort to this type of planning just to get by at work nowadays!
HORRIBLE!!!!!

I work from a different state once a month for 3 days out of the month. I’ve done this since September and my manager knows and it’s never been an issue. I’m an exempt employee and am on a 3/2 in office schedule not sure if that makes a difference.

@OP
Just keep your mouth shut and you should be fine.

WFH doesn't mean that you're literally required to be working from your primary place of residence...it's simply to designate that yes, you're working, but you're not physically "at work" in one of the company's offices.

You've already got one foot into vacation mode with three 1/2-days scheduled for that week, so just relax and enjoy the scenery. Do your work when you're scheduled to do it, then have fun and soak-in the lovely STR surroundings with your wife, for a much deserved change of pace.

I agree with the other post, that it's probably best to stay within the USA.
And if you'll be in a different time zone than usual, be mindful of that.
I would also keep it to myself, rather than inform coworkers, boss, etc. of my whereabouts for that week, and not post on social media about where I am or what I'm doing that week. Just stick to work, and otherwise "go dark."
Other than that, go for it!

If they trust you enough to work remotely, then it's OK to do so from wherever works best for YOU!

Should be fine as long as it is on US territory.
Canada, Europe, other countries are a No-Go.
