[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand all of the outcry here.  I would have interpreted this policy as saying something like "we don't really want people to work at home, but we're willing to let them do it if it will save us money."  Which sounds fair enough.  I'm not sure why anyone would want to move from SF to middle-of-nowhere, USA, personally, but maybe it works for some.[/quote]

That's fine if you make the announcement BEFORE approving WFH/remote plans. It sounds like FB decided to cut salaries AFTER telling people they could work remotely. That's just a sht thing to do (in addition to sounding like it would violate an employment agreement). And is the sort of thing that makes people go looking for new jobs.

Look: people working for companies that are facing hard times seem unhappy but willing to accept pay cuts, if it means keeping their jobs. People working for companies doing better than ever should expect they won't be treated like crap by that company, financially, I think.

I see no problem with this policy applying to new employees, that said, so long as they go in knowing what the policy is.[/quote]

They made the announcement like a week ago? And we’re in the middle of a pandemic? Come on. It’s not like six months in and a bunch of people have already moved and THEN they say this. Do you really think some people sold their homes in the last few days and moved in somewhere else and no feel blindsided? Come on. They are allowed to start developing policies for a new policy they recently developed during a flipping pandemic. It is incredibly fair and I highly doubt these adjustments aren’t still going to keep people at the high end of whatever locality they are. They aren’t going to be struggling. [/quote]
