In the US, your W-2 employer has to withhold your taxes on behalf of the state so they have to have your legal residence. I suppose you could file a tax return where you later claim that you weren't really a NY resident but a CT resid

In the US, employment is generally at-will, which means either side can unilaterally terminate the agreement but either way, these are the people whose employment conditions presently include having to physically show up to work. So, there

Paying people simply what they are used to being paid is even less fair than what they are doing. Given that they already have location adjustments, if they simply let people keep their comp regardless of their move, employees that moved t

This isn't measuring the same thing though - a college degree vs a high-school degree is a very different question than a college degree from an elite school vs a college degree from a slightly less elite, but still very good school. T

There are a lot of great comments here about what to do but wanted to add something a little different. Most of the advice here about what you should be doing is reasonable, but one critical thing that's missing is that most people th

The minimum wage hasn't kept up with other things (it feels to me that it should be $15-$25) and the overall trend of inequality is undeniable (the very top, both in terms of wealth and income, have done much better than the median per

At least in my experience, people who get away with a small amount of work are almost always senior people who are highly regarded by the higher-ups. It's difficult to get away with doing very little work as a junior person in any org

The leverage doesn't have to be high - the only reasonable conclusion you could make is that the owner doesn't have a lot of cash savings outside of his properties and likely doesn't make that much money from his job (in rela

Nothing you're saying makes any sense: 1. This isn't an example of systemic risk - I suggest you look up the phrase since you keep mentioning this. 2. Lowering rent has nothing to do with mortgage agreements - I have no idea what

If a building is built to be rented out, does the builder typically rent out the place? No, it will be someone who buys the building, typically with large amounts of borrowed money, who will then rent out the place. Builders build (often

You're still not making any sense. How does this contribute to systemic risk? How does "adding housing supply" change anything with respect to systemic risk? And this person was renting out a place they already own. This i

How does that relate to your assertion that people buying a place and renting it out do not add any value?

This doesn't make any sense. A lot of people either don't want to buy due to their own personal circumstances or can't afford to buy. People buying places and renting out increases the supply of rentals, which makes it easi
