My company is discussing pay bands based on geography even for fully remote roles. I moved to a lower cost area during the pandemic. The work output has not changed. This seems very unfair, to be paid less simply based on where I live?

Normally they wouldn’t pay you less you would just be higher on the salary band and would get less merit.

From my standpoint, why am I paid the same as someone living in a far less expensive area? My pay doesn’t meet the minimum expected in the area to live comfortably. Others, working same role in my company, but in less expensive areas, are paid the same and far better of financially.

This isn’t weird. It’s been happening for decades and all companies have ever done is pay the competitive rate for the market. And the market changes based on region. People are paid less for XYZ job in State B than they are in State A.

Why?

Maybe because there are more people who can do XYZ job in State B. Maybe because housing/groceries/taxes/utilities cost less in State B. Maybe because there are way more employers in State B.

It’s meant to pay a fair wage based on what other people get for the same job in the same region. And that’s it.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

Does anyone use Universal Local Campaigns? A client wants supplemental support for specific locations. I’ve never run a ULC campaign targeting a single location - any idea if this would compete with our existing campaigns targeting the same locations (we run campaigns targeting location groups by region)? Can a ULC targeting a single location see scale without sacrificing too much cost/store visit efficiency? Google Help articles are, unsurprisingly, no help.
