@@cl8855 agreed. But only if the employees residence has been declared to be anywhere other than the state they work in. A company cannot determine how often or where their employees travel. So as long as their residence is in the same state their employer is, they can travel all they like and get their mail in their state of residence and also work in that state.

what the others said, plus, in the case of mexico - germany: insurance. in germany, anything that happens to you or your gear during working hours when working remotely is considered a workplace accident and covered accordingly - so long as your workplace is known and agreed upon with your employer. in your own interest, you _want_ that insurance. in the worst case (accident renders you unable to work permanently) that insurance makes the difference between a continued salary and becoming a welfare case. another factor could be data protection laws. for example, by eu laws, certain data must not leave eu space. if you bring a laptop with such data outside of the eu, you and by extension your company are violating those laws. in a similar manner, in my home office i can guarantee that no outsider can hear my or my colleagues' or my clients' end of confidential conversations. nobody except me can watch my screen etc. if worked from a hotel bar, or a park bench or a starbucks however .. you get the idea. all of this depends on your country's laws ofc.

A few years back I worked with a client in the defense industry. Close to (what would turn out to be) the end of my tenure at that company, I was drowning in work. I was working in a service desk, and I was responsible for routing tasks either to other members of my team, or to other teams. A short while before I quit, we found out that sending tasks to this very specific group ended up with the task disappearing - e.g. the task was removed from the system when sent there. Me and a few others ended up routing hundreds, if not thousands, of tasks, in bulk, to this that specific group. No one noticed a thing and the people who logged the case didn't log any new cases complaining. I'm guessing it was due to how need to know everything was - in the end, we had to do less work for (much) better statistics.

And they had installed a program into them that would alert the dayshift leader (I worked evening) if a certain user had not used their scanner for a period longer than some amount. Then once a month someone in the higher ups would sit and go through all these periods of inactivity. And clogging them in as either our early, dinner, or late break. And if there was any more periods than that, they'd write to our supervisors who then had to ask us what we did for those 12 minutes we weren't active that one day last month. There were 2 different shift supervisers, one of them got realy bothered whenever he had to do one of those "meetings", since it was a waste of everybodys time.

As for taking years to get the money back: if the mistake was yours, it's not the bank's problem. All you can do in that case is contact the recipient and ask them to give the money back. If they refuse or have already spent it, you have to go through the court system which can indeed take years and where you need to prove that the recipient could reasonably be expected to understand that it was a mistake.

Believe it or not my job so micromanaged that our production of our keystrokes is calculated it is watched And if it's detected that we have not Made any keystrokes in a four minute period it sends off an internal alarm to our stats..... If we forget to use a, or put a, in the wrong place in a sentence we get points on a quality Rubic scale and it counts against us if we don't meet our percentage for the year in our merit raise🙄 You know what my quality measurement is for my title 99% if I don't meet that on average for the year it affects my raise..... How do people come up with this do they not realize where human beings and not robots we're bound to make mistakes especially if we're rushing through our day from call to call being customer service and trying to Finish up our after work time in 20 seconds before the next call comes in...its ridiculous! Im getting anxiety just thinking about it😡

Lady I know says she's got to "authenticate" her status every 30 to 60 minutes. Her tech guy she has known for 10+ years and is friends with tells her that they do not actively monitor her, or everyone's, working BUT that authenticator DOES track her if and whenever they want to. For the camera on her laptop being on, she just pulls the USB cord so that they can't turn it on from their side without her knowing.

I think we all have a LOT of questions! I'd make some confessions but........ I plead the 5th. 😮 I will admit putting ex-lax in some chocolate frosting on a couple of brownies for a guy we all detested at work. He spent the rest of the day in the men's room. 😮

It sounds like the employee bought women lingerie with a company credit card, claiming the expenses as gifts for clients, not women he was sleeping with. One assumes he also bought them nice dinners. The lingerie could have been sent to his home, picked up by him, or even sent to his office. Probably not the women's home addresses.

State Farm tracks movements on your computer and if your mouse isn't moving the system tracks it as down time. It's all compiled and put into your metrics.

Geeze - sounds over the top. I would think they would focus more on the kind of work people get done. I don’t think I could work for a company like that.
