Tbf I don't want exorbitantly paid google folks coming to my LCOL and driving up housing prices because they can afford more than the rest of us
Was at an intersection in Nashville the other day. Pretty sure I saw more California plates than Tennessee ones.
Pay me for my work. Not my location.
Indian employees say hi!
Pro
I feel like "pay me for my work" actually means "pay me the cost of living adjustment for a place I used to live."

I mean, slightly clickbait title as usual
But most large tech companies are going to adjust pay if you were in SF and choose to move to SOuth Dakota and work remotely…
The salaries are not indicative of the skill set the employees possess the salaries are directly related to major corporations Iike google requiring individuals to live in very high priced metropolitan areas.
Essentially, they pay top dollar to get people to relocate and have the same cost of living they may have in a lower tax and COL state
If you opt to work outside of the city - you no longer command those rates
I do not understand the pay me for my work not my location comments - look at all the tech and finance jobs for the same exact position outside of the HCOL locations - think Chicago, DC, Texas, etc.
They get paid 10-20% less minimum and do the same exact job. You have always been getting paid extra for location - your true pay was always like 80-90% of what you got plus a location multiple. It’s common sense take that away and that extra adjustment goes away.

Capitalism dictates that pay will be the lowest possible amount that the company believes will maintain a desired attrition rate.
In that lens, this is hardly surprising.

Should it be that way? Imo, no. But this is where fundamental views of the economy will dictate potential solutions.
i think it’s understandable but they should’ve just grandfathered in old salaries imo
Then those salaried employees should be grandfathered into the fact that WFH is not allowed as well
Pro
Their base pay is not even that high, it’s their stocks that drive the Total Comp to be high. Reducing their base pay and already small bonuses seems unfair. The work doesn’t change just because you are remote, it’s the same skills and qualifications. Google saved $ on operation costs, let’s not pretend that employees moving are impacting their revenue, on the contrary, their profits grew.
Consulting firms like Deloitte and other companies pay same salary bands regardless of state where you live.
And alot of them require travel. Internal low travel positions are location based
This was inevitable and people pushing WFH forever should’ve seen it coming.
