Data regulations, software laws, and security risks.
You can work abroad for a certain number of days per year. Then you have to start paying tax in the country you are working in. If your friend is working from his home country he is either within the limit of permitted days or he isn't reporting it.
Exactly this
Location of work is also a factor written into MSAs and SOWs with clients
Which usually says “remote” bc of pandemic right
For example, I saw this on the news https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/19/travel/remote-worker-visa.amp.html and I would love to get outta the country to go visit my friend and work remote there but it seems like my firm won’t allow it
On the data security front, some clients/companies have policies on data not leaving x location (ie even where the server is located matters) but also tax reasons: your paycheck withholds using codes oriented to your location. Extra, unnecessary complications to manage in both cases

My brother works in London and was able to come back to family in the middle east with no issues from work. They just said he can't stay longer than 3 months otherwise there may be implications for his work visa... is this a US thing?
Did he get it approved first? Its not that u cant but u look shady traveling with company equipment into other countries without telling ur job even more so depending if u work with secured information
- effort to handle paperwork
- client confidentiality issues
Yea it seemed like he had no issue with approval. Whereas my firm is like “don’t you dare leave the US we don’t care it’s Covid you stay here and work here you can’t go home to your family during a pandemic”. Just curious as to what the intricacies are and why it’s such a big deal.
I believe there are 2 factors that EY faces compared to FB that forces us to be stricter. One is that we work for clients who have varying policies about their data and hardware, getting approval from every company would be near impossible
The second is that EY is its own privately own company in each country. We are not one big company with offices all over. Someone who works for EY in your country does not work for the same company that you do here in the US
What Accenture1 said is paramount (and SC2) Also taxation issues and labor laws are important.
Seconding on this, since we work with clients in a highly regulated industry (see if you’re at EY), our firms have more rules and are much more conservative about said rules than Facebook likely is.

You have to understand that every company has its internal rules, on top of immigration rules and labor laws. If you worked for a small time private company as a contractor, it probably wouldn’t matter. Also, if you’re employed for a company in the local jurisdiction (wherever you want to work from), then it’s doable. Just think about it, if it was that easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it ?

I don’t know them off the top of my head anymore than what others have pointed out. I work at the recommendations of the immigration team at my company. If they say no, then it’s a no.
Makes sense im from the UK as well and there is a EY office in Manchester but I guess it’s too many complications lol
