One guy during the probation period called IT saying his laptop was broke, they told him to bring it into the office. It turned out he was on another continent and didn’t bother to tell anyone. As expected he lost his job.
Probably, but that’s not the issue from a corporate perspective. You still transported a company laptop, presumably containing company IP or other confidential information, across an international border. That’s the big sticking point with most corporations due to the rules about search and seizure of said data when crossing borders. Some companies might insist that only prepared clean (essentially empty, not just encrypted) machines can cross borders and you can download the data you need through a VPN once you reach your destination.

Had the same thing happen. They found out he logged into the company VPN from China.
