Mark Zuckerberg planning to localize Facebook salaries as WFH increases

[UserNameless]

People are happy about this but what makes you think these companies won't look outside the US? The whole WFH thing could backfire for a lot of people if companies start getting crafty and you know how crafty they can get when it comes to saving money.

Hire a developer in Canada 30% cheaper get the same caliber of work.

I don’t think people understand how dark this can get


while I hope not, ... This is a perfect storm for some real draconian, capitalist, rich get extra, extra rich shyt to pop off.

There's some finessing, but if they get hired and are assigned to the Chicago Office, they come in with a salary competitive to Chicago professionals and the COL here. If they get on projects where they have to travel to a client site that's out of state throughout the week, they still get paid their same salary. The client comps them for travel, they fly in to the client site city Sunday evening and then fly back to Chicago Thursday evening or Friday...

If they move out of Chicago and don't let HR know, HR will assume that they are still in the area so they will have the expectation that they are available for projects in the area/Midwest. I know some people at my gig, where they got hired to work out of the Chicago Office, but they lived in Iowa when they took the gig. They get staffed on a project in Chicago, so now what? If you relocate all together and you report to a new home office, HR will assess salary and go from there. I'm sure some people are working the system tho because with a mobile and remote workforce it's harder to keep up with all the movement.

The difference in this situation with Facebook is that they all primarily reported to their HQ in their Bay Area office, so their business structure isn't like consulting where they have a vast number of people traveling to client sites. With a consulting workforce, most people are already moving all around and working remotely when necessary or 100% of the time. I'm sure that Facebook doesn't require all of their consultants that they have developing their software for is in the Bay Area... I'm actually 100% positive on this.

They are just adapting to what they've seen from companies who they staff people with IMO.

You're leaving out one important factor though. When you work remotely, you are no longer just competing with people in the bay area for that job. now you are competing with any qualified person that has an internet connection. That dilutes your value to the company.

Not really. Usually there is a satellite office nearby so there is a comparable salary.

We are talking about being able to live anywhere you want. Facebook doesn’t have offices in Mississippi. What exactly would they compare it to and could you disagree?

They will use percentages duh. If they average bay area salary for their employees is 3x typical market rate rent then thry will do the same in Mississippi. Its simple math. I mean the Chairman and CEO litteraly said he will do this and you still doubt.

With a company like Facebook, you are already competing with people from all over the world breh

A good jewel:
Democracy is a system that will work right up until people realize they can vote themselves rich.


The game is to redesign the system so workers compete worldwide. If you keep workers insecure they will be kept in control. One thing I noticed about the big tech stocks is they pay no dividends. Even though the net worth of they owners went up hundreds of billions in the past month they go out of their way to keep all the chips to themselves. Not even investors getting a piece of them profits. I feel like if they that way towards people who own a piece of their company how would they be with their workers?

Oh, ok, so you decided to go the 'smileys that say nothing' route. Ok.

People willing to relocate to the bay area yes.

Fb has ALOT more locations than just the Bay area

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

That literally translates to eat queen
What type of time you on?
You really don't know what OF stands for?

You sure you are a female?

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Makes sense. Can’t pay a Bay Area COL if you’re living in Alabama.

I mean. You can....

If it were so "easy" to ship these tech development jobs elsewhere...why havent they already?
