    I think that companies shouldn’t be allowed to change wage/salary based on locale.

    But I have no idea how that could be enforced.

        And how do you enforce the taxes?

        The problem i was alluding to was shell companies, subsidiaries, and all the existing popular tax avoiding strategies used by big companies (that’d also be used for avoiding counting those employees)

            For the record, I agree with more taxes. I’m ok with you replying more taxes.

            But we need new laws in addition to new taxes, that prevent companies from splitting up their companies (money/employees) into distinct legal entities based on geographical location. Good luck with that, though.

      Wish granted. Tech job compensation falls to record low as it equalizes with latin america and south asia.

        LOL you think they wouldn’t have already done that if they could? Explain to me how you think that’d be the result of making offshore labour more expensive 🤣🤣🤣
