Many people refusing to return to the office will complain when their salaries adjust to the new normal.

  The ship has sailed. If the job is outsourceable, they'll adjust regardless. There's not much inherent value in being from the same region as the headquarters & most of what there is comes from timezones.

  Much like the threat that food workers will be replaced with robots if minimum wage increases, this is a threat without much bite. If companies thought they could get equal workers by outsourcing and reducing salaries, they already would have. Either being in office is a competitive advantage, or it isn't. We'll find out in the coming years, but I'm pretty sure the answer will be "it depends". And most people will readily accept a pay cut for lower salary if they can live in a lower cost of living area.
