Who still needs the office? U.S. companies start cutting space

You could simply never give your employer your residential address (use a post box) and then just continue to not do so when you move.

My personal residence address is need-to-know, and if I were to have an employer, they would have no need whatsoever to know my residential address.

If you're remote, it's simply not their business. You might have an extra step when filing state income tax, but that's your liability, not theirs.

Your employer probably has to pay state taxes/state unemployment insurance, may have to ensure that they are filing certain state forms as an employer of a resident of a given state, may have to adjust health care policies to address state-specific requirements (or residency requirements of the plan they have, etc).

Unfortunately, given the run-amuckness of registration and compliance requirements, it probably is needed for your employer to know where you live (or at least in which state and local taxation/regulation entity).

Yes this is accurate. At my company they've said in the past that they have to count business trips to certain states because once you have employees that have "worked" in those states for more than X days a year, it can be shown that you have a "presence" there and would need to pay state taxes.

Another great argument for always going for c2c instead of W2 work.
