I agree, this seems trivial to solve: get a UPS PMB in a high cost of living area and set up mail forwarding.

  Yeah, until they geolocate the IP address you're using to connect to the company VPN. Oops.

    "I'm using my own permanent VPN, sorry" :D

  Those are called Commercial Mail Acceptance Facilities and there is a database of them available. DMVs use the database to catch people trying to use a rented mailbox as their home address. An employer can catch this if they want to. At my last employer I used a UPS Store address and HR never caught on but since it was in the same town I lived in, there were no tax issues. When I tried to open an HSA, my address was flagged because an HSA is considered a bank account and they must have a physical address for that. I opened an FSA instead, which didn't flag. So it really depends on how the company's HR department operates and as others have mentioned, if you're in a different tax area, there could be legal complications if you get caught.

  I suspect most of the people effectively going "just commit tax fraud" are mostly venting as opposed to saying something they'd seriously do. The fraud aside, I think it would be practically very hard to maintain the opsec needed to avoid clueing in your co-workers as to where you actually live--especially if it's in a different climate/time zone/etc.
