If you buy meat at the grocery store on Tuesdays at 40% off, should you return some of that savings to your employer? Let's say your kid gets a scholarship, do you accept a pay cut because you don't "need," the money to pay for their tuition? If you sell your house and move into a smaller condo with fewer expenses, do you inform your boss that you no longer need all the money you are being paid? If you command a tech salary but someone can still convince you that your work is worth less because you have found a way to make your own costs lower, and that you are somehow obligated to pass on your savings to your employer...well, I should get into recruiting. Sure, the company could offer you less when they hire you, but if you are actually physically remote, the discount isn't based on your discretion or circumstances, they're just making an excuse to offer you less, and you can take it or leave it. There is no principle at work.
