This only works if you are holder of passport of the origin country. As a third world country national, I cannot legally work anywhere except the country I got my work visa.
PS: Even if company is multinational corporation.

What's the difference if I do some work in the evening at home or during my holiday in e.g. Greece?
The only added cost in given country is energy. Problems start to appear if I get sick, but that should be on myself - and in most cases (for EU citizen) it is most appropriate to return home to cure/hospitalize (unless it is something needing immediate help).
What with labor laws? Should you follow the laws from the country from where you work or where the company is located? Companies would just get a post box in the country with the weakest labour laws.
The simplest solution stays that the laws where you physically are apply.
Somewhere like Brazil/Paraguay/Mexico/Philippines/Iraq no one is gonna ask you if you worked remotely while on your way out. No one. Half the time they don't even bother to ask what you're doing while entering, they just stamp your passport and you're on your way. Japan may be different, but there is no way they're gonna deport you on your way out.
I think they do this for the quite clever reason that then if you work they can get you for lying to an official rather just for working.
All European cointries have records of your entry/leaving, and if you overstay you will likely end up with a lifetime travel ban. The only exception would be like a medical emergency.
Any references to this happening all the time?
Because to me it seems like border patrol doesn't have the authority to check your bank account or demand that you "show significant savings".
Sure they can refuse to let you in but does it really happen all the time?
The UK requires some visitors to show bank statements when applying for a visa.
This account is opened remotely from the students' home country in a German bank, before the visa applicstion. And savings cannot be withdrawn for a period of time.
I had an acquaintance that studied in Germany that had a visa problem for withdrawing more money than allowed from his "Blocked bank account".

After all that, when you arrive at the border, they ask questions and US border guards in particular may ask for access to your phone and laptop.
So it does happen all the time, it's just thay typically rich tourists from America are subject to less scruitiny than folks from poorer or politically messier places
Will your policies allow you to give permission for something illegal?
Why would the liability be solely with the person? Especially if that company has a representation in the other country I highly doubt this.
In e.g. NL the company has to "take care" of the employee. A company cannot just ignore such a question, or take it as "not my problem".
I know a lot of countries turn a blind eye to enforcing immigration and labor laws. Thailand being one of them.
Even Pieter Levels works out of Thailand and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have a Thai work permit.
A few decades ago, there was a group of wealthy countries, a group of poor countries, and a large gap between them. Back then it made sense to see them as 2 separate groups, first world and third. Right now however, they're no longer separate groups - there's a continuous spectrum. A growing number of countries have been crawling out of poverty.
Some countries are rich, some are poor, and some are in between. They're no longer separate groups.
(This of course does not mean that there isn't a poverty problem in the world. Just that "third world" no longer accurately describes the situation.)
To clarify, I misremembered Factfulness. The book actually talks about "developed" versus "developing". In my memory I jumbled that up with "third world".
Second world -- Warsaw Pact member states
Third world -- all other states
So eventually "third world" came to just mean "poor countries". After all, there has now been as much time, post WWII, without the cold war, as there was with one!
That’s not how the term is used.
After the collapse of the USSR "Third World" became primarily associated with impoverished nations.
