If the company can afford to pay $200k because your desk is in the Bay Area they can afford $200k for your desk to be in your Wisconsin home. I don't even know why this is up for discussion. Demand it. Get it. Be happier. I did, and you can too.

All I can tell you is they there's literally nobody in Wisconsin that could or would pay what I'm making now for the same job. And my cost of living is very very low.What you spend your money on / your cost of living is nobody's business. It's time for the all tech workers to take back control

@feldThere's a thread with lots of info that may interest you. I sense from your tone that you're not interested in a reasonable discourse, but I'll try anyhow:https://hackers.town/@jonw/107848453494135373

> They think it's the same job, but it's not because region is a component and the jobs are not in the same region. Well, you're wrong. You're just parroting propaganda. Sure, this is the method they use, but it's only because it's an effective tool for them to control cost of labor so they can maximize profits. It's not some magical rule of capitalism without which the system would crumble and we'd be in anarchy. :colbert:
