Since we all have been working from home for months and the company isn’t flexible with remotely working from a foreign country, I was wondering if any of you pushed their luck and moved abroad without letting anyone know.

Or just keep a pc on at home that you have remote access to.
@lehh, not if you use a vpn to connect to the banks vpn.
With VPN, the bank knows where you logged in from with detail information down to city, state, country. So honesty is the best policy. Inform your manager that you're remote from outside the country for X number of days, etc (CYA).
OK Jolen.
I’ll one up you. My 3 years at BNY I never actually worked. Lmao
I did 3 months in California and 3 months in the UK. It wasn’t secret though, I just let my manager know I’d be working in places with different time zones and asked that while I will work east coast US hours, I occasionally be able to work the hours of the location I was in. No issues, no reason to keep secret.
yes 15 days in Jamaica wfh
Once the kids went back to school I spent a lot of time working a broad while working from home.
Do you plan on moving to Lake Mary Florida?
you strike me as someone who looks for tax loop holes
My job was "eliminated" last January yet all the things I would have been working on are now done by someone in a foreign country. Does that count?
You could use a VPN if you are tech savvy enough to know that the router you’re connected to has to tell your laptop that you’re in the same country as the server. It’s not worth the effort though. Realistically the only logical and reasonable thing you could do is work for a different company, no matter the situation. BNY Mellon does NOT deserve any of its employees. I pity the people who work here including myself until I leave within the next month. BNY is a sick and rotting crawling burnt carcass. I use to work at a different large bank until I moved to Pittsburgh and the contrast is truly sickening. I miss my old job.
Like they couldn’t figure this out in a hot second??
