All the European offices are WFH now. The US offices aren't? My colleagues spread all over Europe once the quarantine kicked in here, some of them are on Asian beaches too.
- chefkoch 6y agoHow do you spread all over Europe if there is a quarantine? Also many asian countries have more or less closed its borders.
- emteycz 6y agoYou don't have to stay at your permanent residence address, just inside a house/outside where are no people. Yes, some people are there since the closedown up until now.

- emteycz 6y agoWhat data regulation issues? I don't know what you might mean.
- maps7 6y agoGDPR has constraints on for data transfer outside the EU doesn't it?
- emteycz 6y agoEmployees shouldn't have access to unnecessary customer data anyways per the regulation. Maybe there is some work that can't be done without downloading data, which would maybe be forbidden if outside the EU, but ordinary programmers are okay IMHO. In practice, there are tons of companies outsourcing customer support to India, entrepreneurs managing their ecommerce sites from Thailand, managers opening their Salesforce there, guys with Slack company accounts on phones etc...
