So if I get a remote job working from a high COL area and move, and then I move, do I get my pay reduced? If so, I might as well reduce my effort accordingly ;)

So if I get a remote job working from a high COL area and move, and then I move, do I get my pay reduced? If so, I might as well reduce my effort accordingly ;) you get what you pay for
EDIT: And odds are, the employer won't notice enough to fire me.
- zaptheimpaler 6y agoBut does that mean you would start working 2x the hours if you moved from somewhere else to SF? :)
- whateveracct 6y agoOdds are I can meet the bar of employment without that, so no. You have _some_ leverage as an employee to make it work for you imo. But if you reduce my pay, you're gonna make me take stock of what I'm giving you and shift the balance in my favor if I can easily get away with it.
- droopyEyelids 6y agoHere are your options, i think: 1) You're upfront about it and tell your manager, they update workday, HR schedules a meeting with you to explain the multiplier effect and how your salary is being reduced. 2) You're kind of sneaky, you update your state tax withholding, it updates workday and put you into the appropriate COL bucket for next year's performance review, your salary slowly falls in line with people in your COL area. 3) You keep it secret, allow the company to keep paying taxes to your original state, maybe pay estimated taxes or something to your new state? Don't develop any relationships with coworkers that'll eventually leak your true situation, get away with it?
