Hard pass.  Getting paid high wages for a high cost of living whilst living in a low cost of living area seriously fucks up the rental and housing markets in those areas.  I pay 900 bucks for a 3 bedroom because that's what the local economy can afford to pay.  If some goons who previously paid 2000+ for a SF studio move here en masse, prices will skyrocket and price out the locals while more tech bros pour in for the low prices.
I wish the minimum wage was set by your region's cost of living. That way, we wouldn't have to renegotiate it every 5 minutes, and we wouldn't have one guy yelling, "but we need 30 an hour here!" while another screams, "30?!? You only need 5 an hour here!" >

It always baffles me when I see software engineers making 250k in California, but then I remember I live in the Midwest and things are quite literally a 5th the cost LOL. All things together I am actually doing better than they are only making 90k >

Would you support a SF WFH tech worker getting a pay cut if he moves to the Midwest? >

No. Equal pay for equal work at the same place. I would support a pay cut for working from home because that would at least be consistent logically, but not based on geographical location. >

I disagree. Paying differently for the same work means that the company values the work differently based on geographic region. Same pay for the same work in the same company. That's what I believe in.
