I was fired and given severance. But I was very up front with them about my travel situation. Originally they told me it was ok, but after a few months, they changed their mind.

I wouldn’t budge on going back to the states, so they looped me into a round of layoffs and that was that.

Only once was I caught. They just let me contract expire without extension and ghosted me.

If it’s a gig, that means you’re a freelancer. This means they are not your employer and have no business telling you what to do.

Don’t lie. Show some integrity. You’ll be a happy_performer538 instead.

Nothing unless they specify in contract. For example, I work in cyber and one of the regulators are super strict about data governance. Company could be fined or even shut down if someone from outside the country access customer data. But then again, for these people we don’t even allow WFH so probably you are fine.

Yeah there could be. It depends tho on your job.

Might not even be fired, offer said remote, didn’t specify where.
