Mark Zuckerberg planning to localize Facebook salaries as WFH increases

[Wild self]

Because it’s capitalism and perfectly legal. These execs do what best for the company. Facebook has people beating down their door. Trust me I get what you’re saying. Yes fb is cutting costs while cutting some of there employees salaries. But these policies (COL wages) have been in place for awhile.

So you would expect workers moving from a low cost city to Silicon Valley to expect a raise, but not vice versa?

So its capitalism for execs to move people out and pay employees less, simply cause they want to get ahead financially and quality of living wise? Just let these execs get infinite profits, but god be damned if the employees can live in a suitable house or have a few extra thousand saved.

data centers are placed in cites with low environmental/disaster risk and close proximity to major metro areas. Please stop while you’re behind.

No shyt nikka.... is that why NASA set up shop there too?

And if salaries are tied to cost of living. Why should google pay an employee 250k to live in bumfukk Texas?

Why should employees be entitled to a windfall? This is pretty basic economics.

So now you’re pivoting from your previous assertion that paying these guys would disrupt the economy of bumblefukk. Good.


Google should pay them their agreed upon salary. Them finding a way to cut their expenses doesn’t decrease their value to google one bit. It’s no different than if they chose to live 2 hours away from mountainview in the relatively cheap madera.

and the point y’all corporate defenders keep ignoring is that this happening cuz of a pandemic! Employees didn’t request to WFH. They aren’t trying “get over” on the corporation. If you’re trapped in your apartment and all the luster of the city is gone with things shut down and it’s time to renew your lease, why not consider moving back home to your parent’s house in bumblefukk? Your job says you won’t be allowed in the office for the rest of the year, may as well cut costs and be closer to the fam and out of a densely populated major city whilst a vaccine-less virus is spreading. Announcing this now, in the middle of a pandemic, is tone def af...but of course regular Joes love to defend big business

I’m not pivoting. But you can’t grasp basic economics breh. Btw most techies aren’t moving to bum fukk MS (I used as an example) they would go to attractive places with low taxes like Seattle (already tucked) Charlotte, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta. These places will experience even higher price jumps e.g, black people will be most affected.

So There’s no point with me continuing this convo because nothing I say will change your mind lol. You’re the same dude who would expect a corporation to compensate them for moving to a higher COL but wouldn’t expect vice versa.

Lmao@ “regular joe” just nothing but assumptions man.

peace

Stay focused and answer my question.

You did pivot. You claimed a 250k engineer would disrupt the economy, I cited an example of a much higher earner moving to a poor town, and you completely changed the subject.

My mind could be changed if you had actual facts to back up your claims, but you don’t cuz it’s not rooted in reality. There’s no “basic economics” principle that suggests a single higher earner moving to a poor town would disrupt that town’s economy. You pulled that out of your ass.

Read my updated post. Since you lack critical thinking skills. Lmao at you thinking someone who is paid 250k to live in sf should be paid 250k to live in butt fukk MS. Salaries correlate with COST of LIVING. That’s why an engineer in Texas doesn’t make the same as an engineer in Manhattan. It’s COST OF LIVING.

Breh you don’t even understand the concept of cost of living. How the fukk do you expect me to believe you understand economics and how companies are ran?

Do YOU even own a business? I see you calling people regular joes like you know who and what the fukk we do. You dudes are weird man.

Yeah, why not? If some IT guy moves to Silicon Valley for a big raise, he should get it. If that person decides to leave, he should keep that salary because he gained the experience. That would be a good way to raise the quality of living and re distribution of wealth.

Dude you’re moving the goal post. Should an engineer expect to be paid a higher salary to live in San Francisco rather than somewhere like Minneapolis? Why would you not expect vice versa.

 

[Wild self]

Dude you’re moving the goal post. That’s not the same. Should an engineer fresh out of undergrad be paid a higher salary to live in San Francisco rather than somewhere like Minneapolis? Why would you not expect vice versa?

WFM is the game changer. If it is based on a national company, pay everyone the same as the high cost of living states. If it is a local state based company, pay them by the state's COL. Simple. A company like Google or Facebook can afford tgose high salaries for their employees.

So now you’re offended by the term “regular joe”? Smh. Unless you’re a titan of business, then I consider you a regular joe within the context of this conversation. It’s nothing to get offended over. If you’re a C-suite level guy, feel free to correct me.

YOU brought up the prospect of a 250k engineer moving to a small poor town, so that’s what I addressed. If you want to talk about another cheaper metro like Atlanta, then I refer you to my original retort:

That would only be true if they all congregated in a single low income area. A few employees moving back to Wichita ain’t changing the entire market.

Metro Atlanta has a population of over 4.5 million people. You’d need a SIGNIFICANT number of Facebook employees to chose to WFH from there for them to have an impact on Atlanta’s market. There’s no evidence to suggest that that would be the case. You’re just fearmongering at this point...

I log in every day via a vpn on my OS that starts from boot.

I haven't blocked from connecting yet

Personal or work computer/laptop?

 

[Conan]

Anyway, look into getting a VPN router that sits between your ISP and your workstation. Set that shyt somewhere in SF and you're golden. Most employees won't do this... IT departments aren't trying to root out the few employees spoofing their location

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Just like if I move tomorrow to work at my job in SF. I want double the pay because of the COL or I’m not going

Coli brehs in this thread against it ain’t think about this going in the other direction
