Having been working remotely on and off for the last few years, I would tend to agree. I’m flexible where I work, so if I can earn more working in an office I’ll do it - I’m not taking a 40% paycut just to work remotely. As a company you are already saving by not paying employment taxes (most remote workers are contractors on paper) and not having an office, so don’t skimp more by paying your team a low wage.
