Ultimately, I'd be far, far more concerned about a race to the bottom. That race to the bottom is possible regardless of location-based pay or not. Once people discover how to navigate remote work across big timezone differences en masse and mentality shifts, things will truly get interesting.
- mym1990 4y agoIs this from a consumer or producer standpoint(or both)? A race to the bottom ultimately hurts everyone. In a simplistic world, if wages go down, people will consume less, causing decreased revenue. Its in the best interest for companies to have a competitive wage floor that still allows for quality goods and services to be created. Remote work will certainly shift dynamics, I am quite interested in if the concept of 'hybrid' work will take off, and how that would shape cities/communities.
- causi 4y agoA race to the bottom ultimately hurts everyone. It's already a race to the bottom. It's just the fact that "doing the job well" hasn't been the only factor in the race. Strip off "being able to move to and tolerate living in the right place" and the race gets a lot more fair in my opinion.
