It's anti-worker to pretend all jobs need to be equalized in this very silly way. What the administration is actually doing here by setting up this ridiculous comparison between different kinds of jobs, is pitting workers against each other hoping they won't look up top. That is anti-worker. Different jobs are different. Why are we sitting here pretending they aren't? Blue collar city jobs have always had overtime options that administrative workers never had. This "equalizing" has already occurred because of that.

>If you chose to be an electrician or a contractor instead of someone who works primarily on a computer and phone why should you get a special gift in salary (when you already get overtime that most office workers don't get) because you obviously can't work remotely?

This is really lame and anti-worker.

Remote workers will naturally be paid less though because they're competing with every other remote worker. When an employer can hire a full time developer in India for ₹700,000 a year, why would they pay someone in the States in $USD? If on the other hand what they really want is someone who'll come in to the office, they'll have to pay in accordance with the local cost of living to retain talent.
