I don't see how this is fair. Zip code discrimination is a thing and should be treated as the same level as other discrimination. If not, why not paying less so

I don't see how this is fair. Zip code discrimination is a thing and should be treated as the same level as other discrimination. If not, why not paying less someone who lives in Oakland than in SF?
- phamilton 10y agoAmusingly enough, I sometimes see the opposite. The engineer who lives next door to the office in SoMa works far more hours than the one in Oakland for the same pay.
- brightball 10y agoI should have clarified. There's an office in Seattle so the Seattle employees are coming in to the office everyday. That means they are subject to the same proximity based real estate rates as everyone else in the area. If they move away from that area, the scale adjusts. Basically, Phoenix is our standard bearer for scale. Seattle is just so much more expensive that you can't employ anyone in Seattle for those rates, so the higher pay scale is necessity. If everyone could be paid at Phoenix rates, they would be. The compensation is equitable based on cost of living.
