WFH: Do I have to tell my boss if I leave home?

While we are all on work from home status while everything is going on, what is the protocol on traveling? Say if i want to work from my parents house for a few weeks (out of state) or if i want to visit my significant other (out of country) do i have to ask my boss for permission? We aren't even going to be back in the office for a few months.

Not quite a boss, but a significantly senior coworker has been on UTC time for more than 3 months, but working NY hours. No issues there.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

nope, where you are isn't up to them, but ensuring your work is done is. You're not on house arrest and you don't need to tell them where you live

 

Natus at ad quaerat. Iure maxime beatae aut corrupti vitae. Aut animi consequatur reiciendis iure aut eligendi.

Quo vel exercitationem inventore sequi libero placeat. Quia necessitatibus amet placeat labore sed. Quos quo et quidem quaerat corrupti et. Quia omnis quasi autem et. Neque repudiandae praesentium quia adipisci dolorem. Natus illum qui assumenda ut minus deleniti.

...but is it REPE?
