This is a rather cynical take, assuming that companies would somehow "steal" this incentive from people. Geo-based compensation is real, of course, but so are the massive cost of living differences between say, San Francisco and Ann Arbor.
- SamWhited 6y agoIt's not cynical, it's absolutely true. When I lived in Austin companies would adjust peoples pay down when they moved there because there was no state income tax in Texas so they'd claim they were being paid the same and the employees were being "greedy" by wanting the same salary.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoThe real reason is always the supply curve and demand curve of labor in the new location mean the employee will accept the lower pay.
- rco8786 6y agoI explicitly stated that geo-based compensation plans are normal. What I'm calling out is a baseless claim that companies will also adjust so that they can "steal" the one time $15k incentive. After all...if they take the incentive away, the incentive no longer exists and is useless.
