- mech422 6y agoMy last 3 remote gigs (2 of which were pre-covid) have all been at higher rates (over each other, and over prior on-site work). The 'you have to take less for remote' thing is by no means universal...
- pdimitar 6y agoThe statement that remote workers get paid less hasn't been true for me in the last 10 years.

- tomrod 6y agoNo, because that ignores the savings the employer receives for not having to hotel the employee. But employees stioo have to ensure their working space. So remote==cheaper is not guaranteed.
- bradleyjg 6y agoWhy does that matter? You said the employer shouldn’t care what the employee does with their money. In that case, so too the employee shouldn’t care what the employer does with its money. Under that logic all that matters is the market clearing rate—-not savings or extra costs for either the employee or employer.
- tomrod 6y ago> Under that logic all that matters is the market clearing rate Rate(s). Agents in real life are heterogeneous. It shouldn't matter to the employer. To the employee it matters a great deal.
