I believe you when you say you're not worried about it, but then I have to wonder about the earlier ...

So Google is tracking me from Firefox on a work computer routed through a VPN showing me in New Jersey

... comment. It seems unlikely to me that your employer would require the rest of the internet to believe you're located in New Jersey, but I guess it's not impossible. If they do, can you share what their reasoning is? Same question if you're the one using the VPN. The only non-privacy-related uses for using VPNs I've seen are for getting around geo-restrictions when buying things, or for getting around media blackouts for sporting events in one's home region.
Just saw your comment on this. Still not sure why an employer would require a location-spoofing VPN for working from home. It's quite simple to VPN to work servers without the added location-spoofing. But I understand it's not your doing, so I'll drop it.
