Would you feel as strongly about this if it was a corporation, instead of a single individual?
If I as corporation buy from a third party OEM and they decide to move production from Texas to Malaysia or Vietnam, would you also feel strongly that I as customer am entitled to a discount?
Or would you consider that we have agreed to a contract where the supplier is delivering the same OEM product but now from a different location?
- GhostVII 5y agoIf a supplier changes locations I would definitely expect prices to change in future contracts. Of course the current contract shouldn't be changed if we had already agreed on a price for some number of units.
- rsj_hn 5y agoThe OEM is selling a tradable, so you would expect companies to already search the world for the cheapest version and be buying that, as there is effectively a single global market. Labor, historically, has not been so mobile. There is not a single market for labor, there are many different markets. And in each market, the company pays the prevailing market wage. For that reason, when someone moves from market A to market B, their wages are adjusted up or down based on the cost of labor in those markets.
- 8note 5y agoI would, yeah. Chances are that the product has changed, same as the now-remote engineer's product
