Can remote employees working for companies from sanctioned/restricted countries safely work remotely from Vietnam?

TL;DR
Connectivity issues are not caused by Vietnam itself — the real risk comes from employer policy: accredited Russian IT companies are laying off staff who live abroad due to internal security service requirements.
What the community said
Technical access issues to work services do occur regularly, but the cause isn't Vietnam-related infrastructure — new restrictions appear monthly, imposed by the employers or their internal security teams.

The layoffs are driven by internal corporate security department requirements, not by technical connectivity problems in Vietnam.
