While I personally believe cost is living adjustments to be morally questionable, one might as well argue that people of similar skill level should enjoy a similar level of living comfort. And the latter would imply that people in expensive areas need to receive more money for the same job. But overall, this post to me illustrates why a company is better off cleanly firing past employees after a tech acquisition instead of trying to integrate them into the new company structure. Trying to treat your employees nicely opens you up to more criticism than firing them (as they fear and expect).
