"They're also a company whose remote pay is dependent on location."
What is it with companies doing this? It never made sense to me that a company would pay me more or less depending on where I lived. If I'm doing the same work why should my location matter?
- rrgok 4y agoOh man, I agree with you. The typical answer is: market. But on a side note, this should make us blatantly clear that, all else being equal, our work has no inherent value.
- ingonealan3 4y agoTo take the point further: nothing, ultimately, has any inherent value.
- robopsychology 4y agoI use it to my advantage - if I'm remote working for the Bay Area I can double my local salary but still be significantly lower than a Bay Area local.
- geodel 4y agoYeah, just like you pay same price for house, food, daycare, school, medical treatment and so on. If it is same square foot why does it matter if house is in Cleveland, Ohio or San Francisco, CA.
