At my company, it’s about equality. Everyone gets paid within the same range for the same work after adjusting for cost of living. Move to higher COL, raise, lower, cut. It’s that simple.
- ebg13 6y agoExcept that this idea is always a farce. People talk about cost of living as though it doesn't vary wildly within a city from neighborhood to neighborhood.

If I move to a place tons of other people move to it likely has some positives (better schools, more to do, closer to nice vacation opportunities), and higher costs. Also if the high COL employee owns a property, much of that difference goes into equity in their home. Which they can they cash out and move to a low COL area.
