This makes sense to me because I agree to do the job fox x dollars, you shouldn't be able to turn around and make me do the same job for less without my agreement and a new contract.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI think that's a very uncommon structure, but regardless it's a voluntary pay cut in this case. Facebook isn't saying anyone has to move, and they won't get their pay cut if they don't.
- selectodude 6y agoI think you're coming from a place where you're receiving contracts for employment. My employer's contract is "fuck you, show up to work and we can fire you and change the game whenever we please, also, fuck you.". I think that's the employment status for most people, at least here in the United States.
- demarq 6y agoThis makes sense for the average worker. But these are Facebook devs, surely they demand more knowing they have mobility. At that level signing "fuck you" contracts shouldn't make any sense.
- michaelcampbell 6y agoSure it does; they value the "Facebook" entry on their resume more than the risk of being underpaid, pay change, fired at will, or any of the other risks. Whether or not you or I would value it the same can be debated, but clearly it's worth something to some.
