Employees who adjust to the change and moved out of the high cost of living area.
An example from my own circumstances, I was paying $1800/month for a 1 bedroom in Toronto but now for a little bit less I have a 3 bedroom house with a small yard.

- ckdarby 6y agoSome employers are adjusting for pay location, not all, and mine didn't because the cost of losing me was more than adjusting the salary for the different location. I am reaping the $200/month transit pass that I no longer need. As a Canadian I'm able to ask my employer for a T2200 to write some of my expenses off even as an employee. I'm also saving ~5 hours a week in less commute time. I'm still socializing with those coworkers in our daily water coolers, weekly syncs, Monday & Friday fireside chat.
